THE VOICE FROM DREAMLAND by WILLIAM WATSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: THY VOICE FROM INMOST DREAMLAND CALLS
Last Line: LESS REAL THAN THY SHADE.

THY voice from inmost dreamland calls;
The wastes of sleep thou makest fair;
Bright o'er the ridge of darkness falls
The cataract of thy hair.

The morn renews its golden birth:
Thou with the vanquished night dost fade;
And leav'st the ponderable earth
Less real than thy shade.
