That poem asks whether his dream would "strive, or fade unseen" and includes a command to "Bring me so not death but life!"
One poem by this author laments how in "dreamworld" his spirit will "pine away" should he find his "spirit's queen" smiling at "those alien prayers between." That poem asks whether his dream would "strive, or fade unseen" and includes a command to "Bring me so not death but life!" In addition to "Love's Nocturne," he wrote about how the "shadow upon life" is enough for a "forbidden thing itself" to "once... save as well as kill" in his poem "Aspecta Medusa." Another of his poems describes "the rampart of God's house" so high that the title figure "could scarce see the sun." The narrator of that poem recounts hearing the tears of the title figure, who had earlier "lean'd out / From the gold bar of Heaven."
