Last Line: WHO BEARS HIS DREAM UNSHATTERED, FROM THE DREAM-LAND WHERE THEY'RE FOUND?
Subject(s): HALLUCINATIONS & ILLUSIONS;

Who hath not built his castles in the free and open air?
Who hath not dreamed his rosy dreams, more fair than all the fair?
Who hath not seen his castles fall, all scattered to the ground?
Who bears his dream unshattered, from the dream-land where they're found?
