All people dream, but not equally.

Wake in the morning to find that it was vanity.

For they dream their dreams with open eyes,
And make them come true.

8. Write down the theme of the following poem. (Not more than 50 words)
I will arise and go now and go to Inn is free,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee
And live alone in the bee loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core.

I sit on one of the dives
On Fifty-second Street
Uncertain and afraid
As the clever hopes expire.

Waves of anger and fear
Circulate over the bright
And darkened lands of the earth,
Obsessing our private lives;
The unmentionable odour of death
Offends the September night.

11. Write down the theme of the following poem. (Not more than 50 words)
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes :
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gauds day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less, 
Had half impaired the nameless grace 
Which waves in every raven tress, 
 Or softly lightens o'er her face; 
Where thoughts serenely sweet express, 
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place
