“To sit and dream, to sit and read,
To sit and learn about the world
Outside our world of here and now--
Our problem world--
To dream of vast horizons of the soul
Through dreams made whole,
Unfettered, free--help me!
All you who are dreamers, too,
Help me to make
Our world anew.
I reach out my dreams to you.”
