In The World of Dreams
In the world of dreams, I have chosen my part,
To sleep for a season and hear no word
Of true love's truth or of light love's art,
Only the song of a secret bird.
-- Algernon Charles Swinburne 1837 - 1909
(This is part of a longer poem called "A Ballad of Dreamland," but this is the part that speaks to me.)
