'BELOW there are white-faced throngs, <br />Their march is a tide coming Higher; <br />Below there are white-faced throngs, <br />Their faith is a banner flung higher; <br />Below there are white-faced throngs, <br />White swords they have yet, but red songs; <br />Place and lot they have lost hear you not? <br />For a dream you once dreamed and forgot!' <br /> <br />'But a dream has a life of its own <br />The wizard seas it can cross <br />A dream has a life of its own <br />It comes like the albatross. <br />A dream has a life of its own, <br />From my feet to your feet it has flown <br />And you, you victorious <br />That wild, white thing will lose!'<br /><br />Padraic Colum<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-seer/
