John Bartlett (1820–1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919.

Arthur William Edgar O’Shaughnessy. (1844–1881)

    We are the music-makers,
  We are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
  And sitting by desolate streams;—
World-losers and world-forsakers,
  On whom the pale moon gleams:
We are the movers and shakers
  Of the world forever it seems.

Ode.

    One man with a dream, at pleasure,
  Shall go forth and conquer a crown:
And three with a new song’s measure
  Can trample a kingdom down.

Ode.

Each age is a dream that is dying,
Or one that is coming to birth.

Ode.
