IN DREAMS by WILLIAM WATSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: IN DREAMS THE EXILE COMETH HOME
Last Line: IN DREAMS ALONE.
Subject(s): DREAMS; EXILES; NIGHTMARES;
IN dreams the exile cometh home;
In dreams the lost is found;
In dreams the fettered slave may roam
The world around.

In dreams thou may'st a monarch be,
And sit upon a throne.
Give thanks, that this befalleth thee
In dreams alone.
