My Dreams

My Dreams - meaning Summary

Longing for Distant Solace

The poem presents a speaker who projects their hopes onto a distant, imagined place where sorrow is shared and openly felt. That foreign haven paradoxically promises both collective grief and personal uplift: the speaker expects to find consolation, creative renewal, and release from present misfortune. The tone mixes yearning with resignation, framing dreams as an escape that transforms pain into sources of inspiration and exaltation.

On distant place my dreams are set Where all can hear the cries and sobbing, To share in alien sorrow's net And anguished grieving's painful throbbing. For there, I'm sure that I can find Delight in life and exaltation, And there, escaping fortune's bind, I'll cast about for inspiration.
