Others may seem gay and certain, <br />Steering one unbroken line. <br />But lift up the heart's dim curtain, <br />It might prove as frail as mine. <br /> <br />Full of shift and light vagary, <br />Thirsting, shrinking from the cup. <br />Truly, we had best be wary <br />And not lift the curtain up.<br /><br />Gamaliel Bradford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-curtain-5/
