Dreams Are Best


I just think that dreams are best,

Just to sit and fancy things;

Give your gold no acid test,

Try not how your silver rings;

Fancy women pure and good,

Fancy men upright and true:

Fortressed in your solitude,

Let Life be a dream to you.


For I think that Thought is all;

Truth's a minion of the mind;

Love's ideal comes at call;

As ye seek so shall ye find.

But ye must not seek too far;

Things are never what they seem:

Let a star be just a star,

And a woman -- just a dream.


O you Dreamers, proud and pure,

You have gleaned the sweet of life!

Golden truths that shall endure

Over pain and doubt and strife.

I would rather be a fool

Living in my Paradise,

Than the leader of a school,

Sadly sane and weary wise.


O you Cynics with your sneers,

Fallen brains and hearts of brass,

Tweak me by my foolish ears,

Write me down a simple donkey!

I'll believe the real "you"

Is the "you" without a taint;

I'll believe each woman too,

But a slightly damaged saint.


Yes, I'll smoke my cigarette,

Vestured in my garb of dreams,

And I'll borrow no regret;

All is gold that golden gleams.

So I'll charm my solitude

With the faith that Life is blest,

Brave and noble, bright and good, . . .

Oh, I think that dreams are best!
Robert William Service

Nole, the dream is yours....

NITB, if Nole wins today, change the thread title to Nobody Does It Better.

If Murray could win a slam, it would be On Her Majesty's Secret First Service.
Or we could have GoldenHawkeye, ThunderNewBalls, Dr Nole, From Russia With 40-Love, Live and Play a Let Die etc.
