Dream Consequences

. for public domain

What dreams we have in our sleep,
what consequence in our life,
unless they linger with us
through the day from our dark beds?

Let Memory call them forth
to be examined in light
of day near the River's wharf
where Time slows its endless might,

and the High declares, "Build here
your Temples, ancient and new.
Sconce their walls to light the pier,
and leave an account of you."
