Hear "A Dream" Read Aloud.
A Dream

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' storm and night
So trembled from afar -
What could there be more purely bright
In Truth's day-star? -
Edgar Allan Poe Published 1829 (Earlier version published as "Untitled" in 1827) Image by W. Heath Robinson

Within the lonesome latter years!

An angel throng, bewinged, bedight

In veils, and drowned in tears,

A play of hopes and fears,

While the orchestra breathes fitfully

The music of the spheres.

Mimes, in the form of God on high,

And hither and thither fly-

Mere puppets they, who come and go

At bidding of vast formless things

That shift the scenery to and fro,

Flapping from out their Condor wings

That motley drama-oh, be sure

With its Phantom chased for evermore

By a crowd that seize it not,

Through a circle that ever returneth in

And much of Madness, and more of Sin,

And Horror the soul of the plot.

But see, amid the mimic rout,

A crawling shape intrude!

A blood-red thing that writhes from out

It writhes!-it writhes!-with mortal pangs

The mimes become its food,

And seraphs sob at vermin fangs

Out-out are the lights-out all!

And, over each quivering form,

The curtain, a funeral pall,

Comes down with the rush of a storm,

While the angels, all pallid and wan,

Uprising, unveiling, affirm

That the play is the tragedy, "Man,"

And its hero, the Conqueror Worm.
