    The Dreamer's Heritage by Fernando M. Maramag


    Thou dreamer of melancholy songs

    What heritage is thine?The epic line in all things fair, Its harmony is mine. Their Eden joy and lingering pain, They pass into my soul, For joy and pain have melodies That through my being roll.

    And less are science and philosophy

    Than an immortal line Whose notes sublime in mortal man May reach the man divine. And heir am I to a sweet desire To charm from out of things Truth's essence that to the spirit yields Themes for its murmurings:

    Ah! not a rose with cankered leaves

    But claims for me a sigh; And not a maid with a lyric grace But wakes a lyric cry. What is't to gaze at a virgin's face And read the love that's there? A lily seen in the dusk of dawn Is not more pure, more fair.

    Each feeling finds an echo

    In ev'ry beauty that I see; The music of their form, their poetryA heritage for me.
