From wandering through many solemn scene
Of opium visions and a heart serene
And an intellect miraculously bright
I wake from the daydreams to this real night
From prayer and fasting in a lonely cell
Which brought an ecstasy ineffable
Love and adoration and delight
I wake from the daydreams to this real night
From making hundreds roar and laugh with glee
By my transcendent feats of mimicry
A humor wanton as an elvish sprite
I wake from the daydreams to this real night
Endlessly night
Endlessly night
From drinking fiery poison out in a den
Crowded with the tawdry girls and squalid men
They horse and laugh and curse, they brawl and fight
I wake from the daydreams to this real night
From picturing with all beauty and all grace
First eden and the parents of our own race
Luminous rapture unto all men's sight
I wake from the daydreams to this real night
Endlessly night
Endlessly night
Thus challenged by that warder sad and stern
Each one responded with his countersign
They entered the cathedral and in turn
I entered also having given mine
Lingered there until, i heard no more
And marked the closing of the massive door
