Hello. I am trying to understand the poem "A Dream" by Edgar Allan Poe.
I get most of the poem, but then I get lost in the last stanza. "What though that light, thro' storm and night,
So trembled from afar-
What could there be more purely brightIn Truth's day-star?"

What does he mean by that?

POEM:
In visions of the dark night
I have dreamed of joy departed-
But a waking dream of life and light
Hath left me broken-hearted.

Ah! what is not a dream by day
To him whose eyes are cast
On 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?
 
i think and this is just a guess

wes explaining there is light in the most darkest of places

i think that what the poem is trying to say

look up on the internet if your still unsure
