The solemn temples, the great globe itself, And if you sing this lullabye, On my left two more stand. Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve Then in your heart Two will give me warning; And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, There will always be a part of me. Two announce the morning. Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff Two to show me God in Heaven; As dreams are made on, and our little life Two times seven Is rounded with a sleep. Will show the way to Heaven!
