I am inhabited by a cry.
Nightly it flaps out
Looking, with its hooks, for something to love.

That sleeps in me;
All day I feel its soft, feathery turnings, its malignity.

In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
