Dross Coins And Wealth

i. Dross coins and wealth Dross coins and wealth Dross coins and wealth You wallow in them You think of them again, again Dross coins and wealth Dross coins and wealth Dross coins and wealth One even grey a blank vacant sterility. ii. Round the green hill The rivulet glideth: The birds flieth The owl singeth How happy is the earth to-day! iii. From the small dale The shepherd voice ariseth Into a sweet canticle As the day falleth As the red dusk cometh And night in mantle dark By the next dale is coming Coming fast: Coming fast Like sleep Sleep Sleep Welcome sleep The night cometh The skies are darkening: The stars are twinkling And one by one Coming like Morpheus with his wand Into the next sleep beginning The eye-lids how drowsy lie And flicker like torch-lights Slowly Slowly Slowly Morpheus is breathing slow His hot and wanton breath Over my forehead: So sleep cometh, welcome sleep. And dream I with open eyes And through the night Look I upon the stars in sleep And dreaming wake and waking dream again.
