Of Beacons and Dreamers

Oh, let me never hinder

Or snuff the giddy gleam

Lighting your lithesome laughter

And the power to your dream

Oh, let me never crumple

Your footloose fantasy

Or make you fearful to embrace

More than the eye can see

But let me gently urge you

With kindly words or wise

For no one ever conquers, dear

What no one ever tries

And let me never tarnish

Or trample on the hope

That keeps you gazing yonder

To that fair and phantom slope

Let me never extinguish

That dear and darling spark

For to a dreamer it will be

Your beacon in the dark
