I Change My Dwelling Places

I change my dwelling places and change my haunts and wander from country to country, hoping that I shall yet meet my youth again and die kissing her gentle hand.
Thousands of faces pass before me in the great, stormy, human dance; the silent hope makes me calm, the deep quietude makes me ripe.
Eternity lies in my heart and weaves the threads of my old dream, and comforts and winks to me with distant stars, from the deep, mist-veiled abyss of life.
I know, the green isles of the distant happiness are still dozing in its mists; and there lives a redeemer for all mankind that will yet restore my joy to me.
I change my dwelling places and change my haunts and wander from land to land, hoping that I will yet meet my youth again, and die kissing her gentle hand.
