We dream - it is good we are dreaming

We dream - it is good weshould [dream are dreaming -
It would hurt us - were we awake -
But sinceThey [are] it is playing - kill us,
And we are playing - shriek -

What harm? Men die - Exter - nally[^a1] -
It is aFact truth - of Blood -
But we - are dying in Drama -
And Drama - isseldom - never dead -

[^a1: Exter - nally | Externally]

Cautious - We jar each other -
And either - openit's the eyes -
Lest the Phantasm - provejust [mistake the mistake -
And the livid Surprise

Cool us to Shafts of Granite -
With just an age - and name -
And perhaps alatin inscription - phrase in Egyptian -
It's prudenter - to dream -
