I MET one in the Land of Sleep Who seemed a friend long known and true. I woke. That friend I could not keep -- For him I never knew. Yet there was one in life's young morn Loved me, I thought, as I loved him. Slow from that trance I waked forlorn, To find his love grown dim. He by whose side in dreams I ranged, Unknown by name, my friend still seems; While he I knew so well has changed. So both were only dreams. | 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 CORRESPONDENCES; HEXAMETERS AND PENTAMETERS by CHRISTOPHER PEARSE CRANCH |
