A fathom deep in sleep I lie
With old desires, restrained before
To clamor lifeward with a cry
As dark flies out the greying door
And so in quest of creeds to share
I seek assertive day again
But old monotony is still there
Endless avenues of rain
—-
Oh, might I rise again! Might I
Through off the heat of that old wine
See the new morning mass the sky
With fairytales, line on line
Find each mirage in the high air
A symbol, not a dream again
But old monotony is still there
Endless avenues of rain
F. Scott Fitzgerald
