I slept, and dreamed that life was Beauty;
I woke, and found that life was Duty.

And thou shalt find thy dream to be
A truth and noonday light to thee.

Why hold ye so my heart, nor dimly let
Through your deep leaves the light of yesterday,
The faded glimmer of a sunshine set?
Is it that in your darkness, shut from strife,
The bread of tears becomes the bread of life?
Far from the roar of day, beneath your boughs
Fresh griefs beat tranquilly, and loves and vows
Grow green in your gray shadows, dearer far
Even than all lovely lights and roses are?
Frederick Goddard Tuckerman
