DREAMS, by CHARLES WEEKES First Line: I troubled in my dream. I knew | |||
I troubled in my dream. I knew The silent gates and walls. Around me out of shadow grew The steady waterfalls. Afar the raven spot-like flew Where nothing wakes or calls. I fell on deeper trance. I was Where all the dead are hid. They dreamed. They did not sleep, because They saw with lifted lid. They worked with neither word nor pause: I knew not what they did. I stood there with the dead in hell Dreaming, and heard no moan. The light died, and the darkness fell About me like a stone. I woke upon the midnight bell In God's dream here alone. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...I AM THE WORLD by CHARLES WEEKES OVER THE HILL TO THE POOR-HOUSE by WILLIAM MCKENDREE CARLETON THE FORERUNNERS by GEORGE HERBERT THE BROWN THRUSH by LUCY LARCOM |
