In visions of the dark nightI have dreamed of joy departed-But a waking dream of life and lightHath left me broken-hearted.

A Dream by Edgar Allan PoeIn visions of the dark nightI have dreamed of joy departed-But a waking dream of life and lightHath left me broken-hearted.Ah! what is not a dream by dayTo him whose eyes are castOn things around him with a rayTurned back upon the past?That holy dream- that holy dream,While all the world were chiding,Hath cheered me as a lovely beamA lonely spirit guiding.What though that light, thro' storm and night,So trembled from afar-What could there be more purely brightIn Truth's day-star?
