We dream -- it is good we are dreaming --

We are dreaming[^a1]We dream -- it is good we are dreaming --
They[^a2]It would hurt us -- were we awake --
But since it is playing -- kill us,
And we are playing -- shriek --

[^a1: We are dreaming | We are dreaming]

[^a2: They | They]

What harm? Men die -- externally --
It is a Fact[^a3]truth -- of Blood --
But we -- are dying in Drama --
And Drama -- is seldom --[^a4]never dead --

[^a3: Fact | Fact]

[^a4: seldom -- | seldom --]

Cautious -- We jar each other --
And eiit's[^a5]ther -- open the eyes --
Lest the Phantasm -- prove the Mistake --
And the livid Surprise

[^a5: it's | it's]

Cool us to Shafts of Granite --
With just an Age -- and Name --
And perhaps a latin inscription[^a6]phrase in Egyptian --
It's prudenter -- to dream --
