The poem is written by Edgan Allan Poe and he views existence as a dream. The poem explain man existence as just an illusion that does not last but will get fade away with time because everything happens within a short moment and nothing is permanent. He talks about how life moves very fast and before one could realize anything it looks as though its a dream.
Life does not wait for any man everything is time bound when things are not done or achieved when it ought to be one becomes a dreamer as it just like a dream that time moves like a lightning.
