Anthony Evan Hecht in Bard College Cemetery

entrance to the cemetery from faculty circle

As in a dream. Leaving a stunned and gap-mouthed Ferdinand,

Father and faery pageant, she, even she,

Miraculous Miranda, steps from the stage,

Move sup the aisle to my seat, where she stops,

Smiles gently, seriously, and takes my hand

And leads me out of the theatre into a night

As luminous as noon, more deeply real,

Simply because of her hand, than any dream

Shakespeare or I or anon ever dreamed

Baby's boat's a silver dream

Sailing through the sky,

Sailing o'er a sea of sleep

While the clouds roll bny.

Sail Baby sail

Out across that sea.

Only don't forget to sail home again to me.
