"I slept, and dreamed that life was Beauty;
I woke, and found that life was Duty.
Was thy dream then a shadowy lie?
Toil on, sad heart, courageously,
And thou shalt find thy dream to be
A noonday light and truth to thee."
From The Dial (July 1840) p. 123 - I Slept, and Dreamed that Life was BeautyBy Ellen Sturgis Hooper
