DREAMLAND

by Edgar Allan Poe

By a route obscure and lonely, Haunted by ill angels only,

Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT, On a black throne reigns upright,

I have reached these lands but newly From an ultimate dim Thule-

From a wild clime that lieth, sublime, Out of SPACE- out of TIME.

Bottomless vales and boundless floods, And chasms, and caves, and Titan woods,

With forms that no man can discover For the tears that drip all over;

Mountains toppling evermore Into seas without a shore;

Seas that restlessly aspire, Surging, unto skies of fire;

Lakes that endlessly outspread Their lone waters- lone and dead,-

Their still waters- still and chilly With the snows of the lolling lily.

By the lakes that thus outspread Their lone waters, lone and dead,-

Their sad waters, sad and chilly With the snows of the lolling lily,-

By the mountains- near the river Murmuring lowly, murmuring ever,-

By the grey woods,- by the swamp Where the toad and the newt encamp-

By the dismal tarns and pools Where dwell the Ghouls,-

By each spot the most unholy- In each nook most melancholy-

There the traveller meets aghast Sheeted Memories of the Past-

Shrouded forms that start and sigh As they pass the wanderer by-

White-robed forms of friends long given, In agony, to the Earth- and Heaven.

For the heart whose woes are legion 'Tis a peaceful, soothing region-

For the spirit that walks in shadow 'Tis- oh, 'tis an Eldorado!

But the traveller, travelling through it, May not- dare not openly view it!

Never its mysteries are exposed To the weak human eye unclosed;

So wills its King, who hath forbid The uplifting of the fringed lid;

And thus the sad Soul that here passes Beholds it but through darkened glasses.

By a route obscure and lonely, Haunted by ill angels only,

Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT, On a black throne reigns upright,

I have wandered home but newly From this ultimate dim Thule.
