" He rose from his troubled bed Ere the dream had faded away, And he said, "I will fashion the dream As the potter fashions the clay. " He said in his great heart's vanity, "I will fashion a wondrous thing To stand in a palace of onyx And blind the eyes of a king. " He said in the pride of his soul As the birds began to sing, "I will surely take no rest Till I fashion this wondrous thing. I will swear an oath to eschew The white wine and the red, To eat no delicate meats Nor break the fair, whi...te bread. I will not walk in the city But labour here alone In the dew and the dusk and the flush Till the vision smiles from the stone. " Six days he wrought at the marble, But cunning had left his hand, And his fingers would not fashion What his soul could understand. Six days he fasted and travailed, Hard was the watch to keep, So the chisel fell from his fingers And he sank with a sob to sleep. But a vision came to his slumber Beautiful as before, Floating in with the moonbeam Gliding over the floor.
