THE DREAM, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: O, if the world I make
Last Line: I have dreamed: let me wake!
Subject(s): Dreams; Nightmares


O, if the world I make
With these eyes be a dream,
And Love, that is life, but seem
To choose a shade from a shade,
Then let me wake!
I have loved, not Love, but a pale,
Mortal woman, and made
The whole world for her sake;
Let the sight of my eyes fail,
And the whole world fade:
I have dreamed: let me wake!
