| The Isle of Lost Dreams |
| | | William Sharp (1855–1905) |
| |
| |
| THERE is an Isle beyond our ken, | |
| Haunted by Dreams of weary men. | |
| Gray Hopes enshadow it with wings | |
| Weary with burdens of old things: | |
| There the insatiate water-springs | 5 |
| Rise with the tears of all who weep: | |
| And deep within it,—deep, oh, deep!— | |
| The furtive voice of Sorrow sings. | |
| There evermore, | |
| Till Time be o’er, | 10 |
| Sad, oh, so sad! the Dreams of men | |
| Drift through the Isle beyond our ken. | |
