THE MAN OF SONGS.


"Thou wanderest in the land of dreams,

  O man of many songs; To thee the actual only seems--

  No realm to thee belongs."

"Seest thou those mountains in the east,

  O man of ready aim?" "'T is only vapours that thou seest,

  In mountain form and name."

"Nay, nay, I know them all too well,

  Each ridge, and peak, and dome; In that cloud-land, in one high dell,

  Nesteth my little home."
