Religion
Dream within Dream; or, A Dream in Heaven; or, Evil Minimized
From The Poetical Works of Leigh Hunt (1857)
Religion
What evil would be, could it be, the Blest
Are sometimes fain to know. They sink to rest,
Dream for a moment's space of care and strife,
Wake, stare, and smile, and that is human Life.
