An Anthology of Czechoslovak Literature/Reverie
Reverie
And that before a new blossom the old one is slain by a chilling blight;
Visions, all visions grow mute at the vision of souls newborn,
And God in His temples trembles at new gods that rise to smite.
Yet shall I come to perceive that I am fading to-day;
I shall close my shrine for ever and the bells will peal my doom,
And my lamp no longer will burn, and empty will be my way.
Sorrows Overcome (1897)
