Guess who's bored again.... I decided to put up some poetry by Edgar Allan Poe (>>" I just noticed I put Poem as his last name)
Dreams
Oh! that my young life were a lasting dream!
My spirit not awak'ning till the beam
Of an Eternity should bring the morrow.
Yes! tho' that long dream were of hopless sorrow.
'Twere better than the cold reality
Of waking life, to him who's heart must be,
And hath been still, upon the lovely earth,
Achaos of deep passion, from his birth.
But should it be-that dream eternally
Continuing-as dreams have been to me
In my young boyhood=should it thus be giv'n
'Twere folly still to hope for higher Heav'n.
For i have revell'd when the sun was bright
I' the summer skye, in dreams of living light
And loveliness,-have left my very heart
In climes of my imagining, apart
From mine own home, with beings that have been
Of mine with own thought-what more could I have seen?
'Twas once-and only once-and the wild hour
From my rememberance shall not pass-some pow'r
Or spell had bound me-'twas the chilly wind
Came o'er me in the night, and left behind
Its image on my spirit-or the moon
Shone on my slumbers in her lofty noon
Too codly-or the stars-howe'er it was,
That dream was as that night wind-let it pass.
I have been happy, tho' [but] in a dream.
I have been happy-and i lvoe the theme:
Dreams! in their vivid coloring of life,
As in that fleeting, shadowy, misty strife
Of semblance with reality which brings
To the delirious eye, more lovely things
Of Paradise and Love-and all our own!
Than young Hope in his sunniest hour hath known. _________________

I'll re-read it when I'm not so tired, and give you the the applause you probably deserve.
But that'll have to do for now. _________________ ಡ u ಡ

My fav part :
I' the summer skye, in dreams of living light
And loveliness,-have left my very heart
What a good piece of art you had penned. _________________ You can lies with your words, but you can't lies with your eyes ; You've denied that you love me, but your eyes had betrayed your words |
