I wake from dreams

V. Babin

I wake from dreams and turning

My vision on the height

I scan the beacons burning

About the fields of night.

Each in its stedfast station

Inflaming heaven they flare;

They sign with conflagration

The empty moors of air.

The signal-fires of warning

They blaze, but none regard;

And on through night to morning

The world runs ruinward.
