Dreams
By: Emanuel Miranda
Information
Song: Life is but a Dream
Artist: The Harptones

Poem: A Dream within a Dream
Author: Edgar Allan Poe
Poem
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow —
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone? 
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand —
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep — while I weep!
O God! Can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

Song
Will you take part in
My life, my love
That is my dream

Life is but a dream
It's what you make it
Always try to give
Don't ever take it
Life has its music
Life has its songs of love

Life is but a dream
And I dream of you
Strange as it seems
All night I see you
I'm trying to tell you
Just what you mean to me

Life is but a dream
And we can live in
We can make our love
None to compare with

Will you take part in
My life, my love
That is my dream
Life is but a dream
Imagery & Symbolism
Poem
The Poem is deeper in its use of words and imagery with descriptors of the setting, things, and actions such as the read in the poem. I found it very deep and intellectual as you can make some connections with the author's other poems. For a darker twist, you can think of the grains of sand being the partner's life slowly fading away with serious connotations of the loss of a romantic partner or any partner.
Song
The song speaks more deeply about life and how being with their partner is like being in a dream. Its connotations of love and relationships are in my personal opinion very shallow as they that they love the person and it's like a sweet dream being with them but that is as far the imagery goes.
Characters
Poem
Similar to the song, there is the Narrator and an implied second person. the characters presented in the poem are solely the narrator and their partner.
Song
Similar to the poem, there is the Narrator and an implied second person in the song. The characters presented in the song is solely the singers and their partner.
Contrasts
The differences in the two mediums are especially noted both in the way love is portrayed in the narrative and the different implications of those narratives. An example is how A dream within a dream is more talking about how loving someone is comparable to a fleeting dream or how it's like a dream ending when that special someone dies. The song is very surface level and literal as it's just describing how it's dreaming of being with the person. 
The poem has advanced wording as it goes very deep in a metaphcisal state that really delves deep into the imagry and imagination of the reader.

The song goes more in a repeating tone to signify that the love is like a dream. The wording is made simplistic to better convey a song and add ryhme. 
Diction
The Structure of the poem is as stated before, like a tale or story that has many moments of implications. 
 
The song is very literal in the way they convey their song. It uses lots of repetition to get the point across.
Structure
This slide will mostly talk about the peom as the song has only 1 reppietteing instance that is "you're like a dream" which is comparing the subject to a sweet and pleasant dream.

The poem has lots of implications of life and death in the secoind half. one such instance is; 
 "I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand —
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep, "
can be seen as the grains of life slipping aways against the flow of time.  
Figurative Language
Meaning of Work
Both the Song and the Poem reference dreams. At the same time, the song primarily focuses on the comparisons between the object of interest and the sweetness/comfort of a sweet dream, the poem refers to both its sweetness. It's fleeting nature, how you might feel waking up from a wonderful dream.
