All That We See

I slept and dreamed that life was beauty
I woke and found that life was duty
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream
And dreaming through the starlight
That does not rise nor set
Happily I may remember and happily I may forget
It seems so easeful here to lie
Hidden from the sun's scorching eye
In this greasy cool recess
I am musing thus of quietness
