And I have had dreams in the valley

Too lofty for language to reach.

And I have seen thoughts in the valley—

Ah, me! how my spirit was stirred!

And they wear holy veils on their faces—

Their footsteps can scarcely be heard;

They pass through the valley like virgins

Too pure for the touch of a word.

Do you ask me the place of the Valley,

Ye hearts that are harrowed by care?
