 As the visions we knew in our waking dream*. 
 
 Dreams and visions alike are dead, 
 
 As the flames shall die in the eml)ers red. 
 
 A look we give to the past to-night, 
 
 As one who stands on a mountain height 
 
 And views the path he hasjournied o'er. 
 
 And wonders how many milestones more 
 
 He will count on the roadside one by one 
 
 Till the goal is reached and his journey done,
