A Dream

image
Mountains toppling evermore, Into seas without a shore...
 
 


Edgar Allan Poe 

 
In visions of the dark night
  I have dreamed of joy departed 
 
 
But a waking dreams 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 Truths day-star ?
