| A Dream... Edgar Allen Poe... |
|
In vision of the dark night I have dreamed of joy departed, But a waking dream of life and light Hath left me broken-hearted. |
|
Ah! what is not a dream by day To him whose eyes are cast On things around him with a ray Turned back upon the past? |
|
That holy dream- that holy dream, While all the world were chiding, Hath cheered me as a lovely beam A lonely spirit guiding. |
|
What though that light, thro' storm and night, So trembled from afar, What could there be more purely bright In Truth's day-star? |
