I don't remember it's name, and I've tried searching google with the line that I liked from it, but its not pulling up the appropriate poem.

The line from it I remember is "awake, chaos. we have napped." (although I don't think that's punctuated correctly, if it makes any difference).

Thanks.

The below answer is NOT correct. If you notice, the line I mentioned is in the signature of someone's post--not part of the posted poem.

what if a much of a which of a wind
gives the truth to summer's lie;
bloodies with dizzying leaves the sun
and yanks immortal stars awry?
Blow king to beggar and queen to seem
(blow friend to fiend:blow space to time)
-when skies are hanged and oceans drowned,
the single secret will still be man

what if a keen of a lean wind flays
screaming hills with sleet and snow:
strangles valleys by ropes of thing
and stifles forests in white ago?
Blow hope to terror;blow seeing to blind
(blow pity to envy and soul to mind)
-whose hearts are mountains,roots are trees,
it's they shall cry hello to the spring

what if a dawn of a doom of a dream
bites this universe in two,
peels forever out of his grave
and sprinkles nowhere with me and you?
Blow soon to never and never to twice
(blow life to isn't:blow death to was)
-all nothing's only our hugest home;
the most who die,the more we live
