A Dream:

Tamerlane and Other Poems, 1827
Untitled
by Edgar Allan Poe

A wilder'd being from my birth
My spirit spurn'd control,
But now, abroad on the wide earth,
Where wand'rest thou my soul?

In visions of the dark night
I have dream'd of joy departed —
But a waking dream of life and light
Hath left me broken-hearted.

And what is not a dream by day
To him whose eyes are cast
On things around him with a ray
Turn'd back upon the past?

That holy dream — that holy dream,
While all the world were chiding,
Hath cheer'd me as a lovely beam
A lonely spirit guiding —

What tho' that light, thro' misty night
So dimly shone afar—
What could there be more purely bright
In Truth's day — star ?
