POEM OF THE DAY: Dreams of the World

by Shaemas O Sheel (1886 – 1954).

Dreams of the World (1915)

I will not lose grasp of the world because of my dream;
Because of my dream I cannot lose grasp of the world;
Heed not the ways of the creepers, O dreamers of dreams,
Dreams are the light feet of goats on the crags of the world!
