The Dreamer
By John Boyle O'Reilly

I am tired of planning and toiling
In the crowded hives of men;
heart-weary of building and spoiling
and spoiling and building again.
And I long for the dear old river,
Where I dreamed my youth away;
For a dreamer lives forever.
And a toiler dies in a day.

I am sick of the showy seeming,
Of a life that is half a lie;
Of the faces lined with scheming
In the throng that hurries by,
From the sleepless thought endeavor
I would go where the children play;
For a dreamer lives forever,
And a toiler dies in a day.

I can feel no pride but pity
For the burdens the rich endure;
there is nothing sweet in the city,
But the patient lives of the poor.
O, the little hands too skilful.
And the child mind choked with weeds,
The daughter's heart grown willful,
And the father's heart that bleeds

No, No, from the streets rude bustle,
From trophies of mart and stage,
I would fly to the woods low rustle
And the meadows kindly page.

Let me dream as of old by the river,
and be loved for the dream always;
For a dreamer lives forever,
and a toiler dies in a day.
