Translated by L. Cranmer-Byng (1916) · From A Feast of Lanterns (1916)
Living
Surely there sings no lighter heart than mine beneath the sky!
And now, companion of my nights of long moon-dreams, good-bye!
For mine is the silver dragon car
That hovers beyond the Rainbow Dome,
And it's oh to be galloping, galloping home
Where my dream-born children are!
