A Day Terror (A Dream-Edgar Alan Poe)

Through Daydreams - i'm attacked in sleep,

     I simply dream, for i'm awake-

  though never ending imagination will not surpass,

leaves me frozen in fear while burning at the stake-

HA! for you think i'm just a bluff,

   naught know what goes on inside my head,

 only disbelieve for it's too much,

So many dreams I was dead - Why am I not dead?

That Vile Dream - That Wicked Dream,

   for naught will see its wrath,

 As I rest, I hope still to revive,

for then I see light admist my path.

A sudden glimpse - for now I see,

   this curse should soon be over-

For as I wake - without prevail,

My shaken hands held within my lover!
