DOUBT

Tell me, tell me who dreams most -

He who sees the world aright

Or the man in dreaming lost?


What is true? What is't that seems -

The lie that's in reality

Or the lie that is in dreams?


Who is unto truth less near -

He who sees all truth a shadow

Or he who sees dreams all clear?


He who is a good guest, or he?

Who feels alien at the feast?
