In visions of the dark night  
I have dreamed of joy departed--  
But a waking dreams of life and light  
Hath left me broken-hearted.  
Ah! what is not a dream by day  
To him whose eyes are cast  
On things around him with a ray  
Turned back upon the past?  
That holy dream--that holy dream,  
While all the world were chiding,  
Hath cheered me as a lovely beam  
A lonely spirit guiding.  
What though that light, thro' storm and night,  
So trembled from afar-  
What could there be more purely bright  
In Truths day-star?
