I have entered the sanctum unworldly,
I have fed from the garden most holy,
Dipped my cup in the fountain of visions,
And walked side-by-side with the godly;

In spirit, was friended by Sweetness,
Fair daughter of Truth and of Goodness,
Who never approached in the harshlight,
But waited in realms of pure noblesse.

And, lo, when I woke, all was not lost;
Some threshold had truly been crossed, -
New wonders infused all my senses;
Soft flames radiated from hoarfrost!

Now I speak for what some have forgotten,
Seeing many have mocked and forbidden,
In rough haste to subtract from the clock
Moonlit hours wherein dreams are hidden.
