Oh, let me live in thy realities,

Nor substitute my notions for thy facts,

Notion with notion making leagues and pacts;

They are to truth but as dream-deeds to acts,

And questioned, make me doubt of everything.—

“O Lord, my God,” my heart gets up and cries,

“Come thy own self, and with thee my faith bring.”
