And, in parting fromt he light,
Thus much I know is right-
You know it too, nothing's what it seem
That my days have been a dream:
Yet if life has gone in vain
In a constant slumber, or I don't remain,
In sleep, or in nothing,
Is it therefore dreams are something?
All that we see or seem,
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand in a field
Of a wheat-crop without yield,
And the cause of this great feat
Grains of golden wheat-
How vast! Yet how they die
Through the winds that go by
While they fly-While they fly!
O God! Can I be
Them when they are free
O God! Can I grasp
One with my clasp?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream? [comments] => 2 [counter] => 263 [topic] => 43 [informant] => lord_sogi [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Away to the night

Take me away to the night!
And, in parting fromt he light,
Thus much I know is right-
You know it too, nothing's what it seem
That my days have been a dream:
Yet if life has gone in vain
In a constant slumber, or I don't remain,
In sleep, or in nothing,
Is it therefore dreams are something?
All that we see or seem,
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand in a field
Of a wheat-crop without yield,
And the cause of this great feat
Grains of golden wheat-
How vast! Yet how they die
Through the winds that go by
While they fly-While they fly!
O God! Can I be
Them when they are free
O God! Can I grasp
One with my clasp?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

The "all that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream" is taken from someone, was it Poe? Anyways it's a really cool line and I enjoyed the way you built around it.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
