A Dream

COMPOSER'S NOTE

Dedicated to my friend, bass-baritone Kerry Wilkerson, A Dream is a setting of Edgar Allan Poe's poem of the same name. Written as a sonnet, the text expresses a profound yearning for a love long lost. It is, at once, emotive and melancholic.

THE TEXT 

In visions of the dark night 
I have dreamed of joy departed— 
But a waking dream of life and light 
Hath left me broken-hearted.  

Ah! what is not a dream by day 
To him whose eyes are cast 
On things around him with a ray 
Turned back upon the past?  

That holy dream—that holy dream, 
While all the world were chiding, 
Hath cheered me as a lovely beam 
A lonely spirit guiding.  

What though that light, thro' storm and night, 
So trembled from afar— 
What could there be more purely bright 
In Truth's day-star?
