_A Somnambulist’s World_

Every one of us on earth
 Is sleepwalking —

This earth is
 A somnambulist’s world Everything we do is In woken slumber

Unaware of all
 Else we do For there is some Unkonwn force behind the stimulus Who
takes delight In every move of ours That it itself directs

We retire to our real world
 Only when we are woken Everyone of us wakes When kindled
by the truthfire When the real sun rises Beyond all horizons.
