ILLUSIONS
Life, love, and I, side by side are wandering1, "Whether I am awake or asleep, we are always wandering, Time is our master, he drives and lures vs —he has no patience, Life reasons me on the mystery of creation, and causes me much joy— and.-^nvjtcli pain-^-Love, happy or unhappy, charms me, To be loved for love is divine— To suffer for love is divine, too. Life and love are great, but my heart is greater! My heart is a great land of reality, emotion and illusion, A lover. f of mystical and ideal fairies, a gr'ejat guilder of airy castles. 0 ! all" that the past was to be, all that is to be in the present, and the \Vonde,rs we are to meet on the road of Time, in the future; 1 have wandered much; and Igo on watojde-ring-.
Long- -lays and mights have passed and many years have flown, My brain is tired with thinking, and my eyes with seeing, All my body is weary, and my lips call for rest,
And my heart, oh! my great, my wonderful heart goes on building
castles,
He watches them rise—and tumble— and as they tumble, he rebuilds them,
My heart is a land of illusion, a master, a creator-
I'm his pupil
