Beyond the moon, within a land of mist, / Lies the dim Garden of all Dead Desires, / Walled round with morning's clouded amethyst, / And haunted of the sunset's shadowy fires; / There all lost things we loved hold ghostly tryst -- / Dead dreams, dead hopes, dead loves, and dead desires.
Sad are the stars that day and night exist / Above the Garden of all Dead Desires; / And sad the roses that within it twist / Deep bow'rs; and sad the wind that through it quires; / But sadder far are they who there hold tryst -- / Dead dreams, dead hopes, dead loves, and dead desires.
