With shattered images the path bestrews,

Yet leads to chaos of conflicting views.

Now vanish all remembrance of the day,

Complete immunity pervade the mind,

Let fond imagination hold her sway,

With rule uncircumscribed and unconfined;

Or soaring on the wings of fancy, wind

Through mystic realms of interstellar space,

Where visions of supernal beauty bind

The drowsy consciousness in sweet embrace;
