Tomorrow is going to be sweet, because I'm going to Northfield with some friends and going to visit St. Olaf for halloween. We will be dressing up and going to a club called...i forgot what its called, but its having a halloween party. Then we will be going to parties on campus and driving home around 1ish. Saturday, i don't know what i am doing...probrably just relaxing because i have had a really tough week. Every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday I dont get home till 930, so I am basically gone for 13 hours on those days because I work for 4 and a half hours right after school. Lastnight I had to write a 5-page essay for Mass Media so that took up my WHOLE wednesday night. So this week has been really exausting, and I am excited for halloween and this weekend.

Love Poem

Beautiful Dreamer
Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,

Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,
Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away!

Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,
List while I woo thee with soft melody;
Gone are the cares of life's busy throng.

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea,
Mermaids are chaunting the wild lorelie;
Over the streamlet vapors are borne,

Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn.

Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart,
E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea;
Then will all clouds of sorrow depart,

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

I believe the theme of this poem is a positive one. It describes how much this person loved the "Beautiful Dreamer". It uses powerful words and metaphors to help describe how meaningful the Beautiful Dreamer is. The author is showing how love possesses him to think about such things.

One example of Metaphor would be in the line that says

"Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart,
E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea;
Then will all clouds of sorrow depart"
He uses a sea and clouds to represent sorrow and mourning.
