Dreams are they—but they are God's dreams! Shall we decry them and scorn them? That men shall love one another, That white shall call black man brother, That greed shall pass from the market-place, That lust shall yield to love for the race, That man shall meet with God face to face— Dreams are they all, But shall we despise them— God's dreams! Dreams are they—to become man's dreams! Can we say nay as they claim us? That men shall cease from their hating, That war shall soon be abating, That the glory of kings and lords shall pale, That the pride of dominion and power shall fail, That the love of humanity shall prevail— Dreams are they all, But shall we despise them— God's dreams! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PARTING AT MORNING by ROBERT BROWNING WHERE YOUR FEET GO by JOSEPH AUSLANDER LINES IN LAURA'S ALBUM by GEORGE CRABBE RATTLIN' JOE'S PRAYER by JOHN WALLACE CRAWFORD DESTRUCTION OF COLUMBIA by ELIZABETH OTIS MARSHALL DANNELLY CHICOMICO; FRAGMENT by LUCRETIA MARIA DAVIDSON FOR AN APPENDIX TO THE ROWFANT LIBRARY by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON |
