A Dream Within a Dream (Edgar Allan Poe)

A Dream Within a Dream by Edgar Allan Poe.

It's an Inception poem!


I like the rhyme - almost all couplets, but there is a triplet in each stanza (though in different lines). I also like the despair at the end of the second stanza. The fear of unknowing. Oh God, what if it is just a dream within a dream? One of Poe's scarier themes, neh?

Favorite line: "O God! can I not save"
