The Song of Seventy.
A Thousand Lines (1846)

“It seems like all this life was just a dream”
"Stella Blue"
Song lyrics, (1973)

Context: p>If this is a dream, then perhaps our dreaming
Can touch life's height to a finer fire:
Who knows but the heavens and all their seeming
Were made by the heart's desire?One thing shines clear in the heart's sweet reason,
One lightning over the chasm runs —
That to turn from love is the world's one treason
That darkens all the suns.</p

“To-morrow it seem
Like the empty words of a dream
Remembered on waking.”
I Love all Beauteous Things, st. 2.
