Farewell, Peaceful Dreams

O’ farewell, peaceful dreams,
As I repose this night to sleep,
For conflict has dimmed another day
Beyond the threshold of my keep!
Alas, I am harried by uncertainty,
So fearful of that yet unfurled,
But the dismal depths of the human soul
Brings ne’er a peaceful world!
 
O’ farewell to thee, tumultuous souls,
Who distract me from my dreams,
For I have balanced a peaceful mind
Where bright horizons teem!
Yet tomorrow foretells of darkness
Lurking outside my door—
Alas, the shallow voice of a collective world
I wish to hear no more!
 
O’ I fear to lose my peaceful dreams,
As I behold the acts of dread,
For the world has turned with warring words
As the repeated past has said!
O’ tomorrow will be not a peaceful day,
As this thro’ time has been unfurled,
For the dismal depths of the human soul
Brings ne’er a peaceful world!
