absence of empery

the message is contained in a true dream
when once it's heard it comes to us no more
the dragonfly floats above another stream

at once we see the meaning of the midday beam
some price is paid to get such modern lore
the message is contained in a true dream

through odd or even we'll still have to deem
a proper answer that will reach the core
the dragonfly floats above another stream

out of our memories the teachers form a meme
that we'll transmit not thinking of the score
the message is contained in a true dream

in their pursuit they'll not run out of steam
the quarry will be tracked right to the door
the dragonfly floats above another stream

at moments in the night we hear a scream
not eased by all the goods we have in store
the message is contained in a true dream
the dragonfly floats above another stream
