The Court of Dreams

Rain from the mountains of Ki-Sho

Fled swiftly with a tearing breeze;

The sun came radiant down the west,

And greener blushed the valley trees.

I entered through the convent gate:

The abbot bade me welcome there,

And in the court of silent dreams

I lost the thread of worldly care.

That holy man and I were one,

Beyond the bounds that words can trace:

The very flowers were still as we.

I heard the lark that hung in space,

And Truth Eternal flashed on me.
