I Dream'd in a Dream Matches original text
Language: English
I dream'd in a dream I saw a city invincible to the attacks of the whole of the rest of the earth, I dream'd that was the new City of Friends, Nothing was greater there than the quality of robust love -- it led the rest, It was seen every hour in the actions of the men of that city, And in all their looks and words.
