THE DREAM OF DREAMS, by GEORGE HERBERT CLARKE First Line: However real it seem, / sleeping we or waking Last Line: Life is a dream, a dream? Subject(s): Dreams; Humanity; Life; Nightmares | ||||||||
HOWEVER real it seem, Sleeping we or waking, Giving we or taking, True, or all-forsaking, Life is a dream, a dream! Shineth there a gleam That gives it sudden sweetness, Sadly we feel its fleetness, Fading to incompleteness; Life is a dream, a dream! Ah! when we would redeem April from drear December, Fresh fire from waning ember, Why must we then remember Life is a dream, a dream? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN VARIATIONS: 18 by CONRAD AIKEN LIVE IT THROUGH by DAVID IGNATOW A DREAM OF GAMES by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL APOLOGY FOR BAD DREAMS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GIVE YOUR WISH LIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS A CHILD'S EVENING HYMN by GEORGE HERBERT CLARKE |
