In light away."
Author: Robert Burns
About: Visions

The young men's vision, and the old men's dream."
Author: John Dryden
About: Visions
"So little distant dangers seem:
So we mistake the future's face,
Ey'd thro' Hope's deluding glass;
As yon summits soft and fair,
Clad in colours of the air,
Which to those who journey near,
Barren, brown, and rough appear."
Author: John Dyer
About: Visions
"Visions of glory, spare my aching sight!
Ye unborn ages, crown not on my soul."
Author: Thomas Gray
About: Visions
"I wonder if ever a song was sung but the singer's heart sang
sweeter!
I wonder if ever a rhyme was rung but the thought surpassed the
meter!
I wonder if ever a sculptor wrought till the cold stone echoed
his ardent thought!
Or, if ever a painter with light and shade the dream of his
inmost heart portrayed!"
Author: James Clarence Harvey
About: Visions
"Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase!)
Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace,
And say, within the moonlight in his room,
Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom,
An angel, writing in a book of gold;
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold,
And to the presence in the room he said–
"What writest thou?" The Vision raised its head,
And, with a look made all of sweet accord,
Answered, "The names of those who love the Lord."
Author: Leigh Hunt (James Henry Leigh Hunt)
About: Visions
"It is a dream, sweet child! a waking dream,
A blissful certainty, a vision bright,
Of that rare happiness, which even on earth
Heaven gives to those it loves."
Author: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
