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.
—Arthur O’Shaughnessy

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