The image shows a page from a book or magazine, specifically page 44, featuring a poem titled "A Dream." The poem is dated September. The text of the poem reads:
"O Beauty, must thou always dwell afar,
Seen only by the gazers on a distant star,
Invisible to those
Whose eyes are dim and place thy neighbors are?
Must the heavenly rose
Drop all its petals when we come anear?
Be with us now and here!
We see thee often in the skies remote;
And even on our sphere
At intervals there float
Before us ghostly images of thee,
But always far away in foreign climes.
Thou art revealed in dim futurity;
Thou beckonest anon from ancient times.
Pray tell us why
Thou dost elude the present. Shy
As Fortune on her wheel, thou speedest by.
Hark to our supplication: O be thou
Among us here and now!
This is thy temple, dedicate to thee,
Do thou its goddess be!
Treasas...er all that art attempts or craft contrives,
Show us the way...and how;
Dwell in our works, our thoughts, be...
Be with us here and now!
And thou, lone prophet of the wilderness,
Dear Norton, bide with us to-day!
If thou canst hear us, bless
The fruit of thine endeavor, the success
Which doth thy brave apostleship repay.
Careless of other worlds, thy mind was bent
On this poor world of ours,
Ever intent,
With all thy wit and all thy powers,
To cover o'er its hideous clay
With flowers.
Be with us, then, to-day!"
