Let me not lose my dream, e’en though I scan the veil with eyes unseeing through their glaze of tears,
Let me not falter, though the rungs of fortune perish as I fare above the tumult, praying purer air,
Let me not lose the vision, gird me, Powers that toss the worlds, I pray!
Hold me, and guard, lest anguish tear my dreams away!
