Yes
I am a dreamer
for a dreamer is one
who can only find his way
by moonlight
and his punishment is that
he sees the dawn
before the rest of the world

'Sestina' Algernon Charles Swinburne

(An excerpt) . . .

For who sleeps once and sees the secret light Whereby sleep shows the soul a fairer way Between the rise and rest of day and night, Shall care no more to fare as all men may, But be his place of pain or of delight, There shall he dwell, beholding night as day.

Song, have thy day and take thy fill of light Before the night be fallen across thy way; Sing while he may, man hath no long delight . . .
