LOST IN HADES, by ANDREW LANG Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: I dreamed that somewhere in the shadowy place

First Line: I dreamed that somewhere in the shadowy place
Subject(s): Immortality
I dreamed that, somewhere in the shadowy place ,
Grief of farewell unspoken was forgot
In welcome, and regret remembered not;
And hopeless prayer accomplished turned to praise
On lips that had been songless many days;
Hope had no more to hope for, and desire
And dread were overpast; in white attire
New born we walked among the new world's ways!
Then from the press of shades a spirit threw
Towards me such apples as these gardens bear,
And turning, I was 'ware of her, and knew
And followed her fleet voice and flying hair-
Followed, and found her not, and seeking you
I found you never, dearest, anywhere.
