Circle Dream

Rankins


I Dreamed of a Circle, I Dreamed of a Circle Round. 
And in That Circle I Had Made Were All the Worlds Unformed and Unborn Yet. 
A Volume, a Sphere That Was the Earth, That Was the Moon, That Did Revolve Around My Room. 

I Dreamed of a Circle, I Dreamed of a Circle Round. 
And in That Circle Was a Maze, a Terrible Spiral to Be Lost In. 
Blind in My Fear, I Was Escaping Just By Feel. 
But At Every Turn My Way Was Sealed. 

I Dreamed of a Circle, I Dreamed of a Circle Round. 
And in That Circle Was a Face. 
Her Eyes Looked Upon Me With Fondness. 
Her Warmth Coming Near, Calling Me "Sweetness," Calling Me "Dear." 
But I Whispered, "No, I Can't Rest Here." 

I Dreamed of a Circle, I Dreamed of a Circle Round.
