When in the down I sink my head,
Sleep, Death's twin-brother, times my breath.
In Memoriam A.H.H (1849)
In sweet dreams softer than unbroken rest
Thou leddest by the hand thine infant Hope.
Ode to Memory (1830)
The dream
Dreamed by a happy man, when the dark East,
Unseen, is brightening to his bridal morn.
Like glimpses of forgotten dreams.
And in her raiment's hem was traced in flame
WISDOM, a name to shake
All evil dreams of power — a sacred name.
The Poet (1830)
Is not the Vision He? tho’ He be not that which He seems?
Dreams are true while they last, and do we not live in dreams?
Seeing, I saw not, hearing not, I heard.
Tho', if I saw not, yet they told me all
So often that I spake as having seen.
The Princess (1847)
So many minds did gird their orbs with beams,
Tho' one did fling the fire;
Heaven flow'd upon the soul in many dreams
Of high desire.
The Poet (1830)
