20. Mood Definition-feeling or atmosphere of a piece. A Dream by: Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) In visions of the dark nightI have dreamed of joy departed—But a waking dream of life and lightHath left me broken-hearted. Ah! what is not a dream by day To him whose eyes are castOn 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?
