Analysis of While The World Sleeps
When you gave me the guerdon
Of my year-long nightly dreaming,
I have since then contemplated
To let the world I bide in, and
Rip the curtain that separates
Your world from mine,
That I may realize the panacea
You did not deny to give. ...
The reward that is tangibly you,
For me, is impossible to reach--
To get and possess,
That the only way is
For you--to come near,
To get me and possess.
Tonight, while the world sleeps,
Let us hand in hand,
Rendezvous under the stars--
To a place called Destiny.
