What year did Edgar Allan Poe write his poem Dream Within A Dream?

Answer 1

It was probably finished in early 1849 because it was published on March 31, 1849.At least some of that poem was written long before it was published because here is a portion of the poem 'To _____ _____', published in Poe's second book of poetry titled 'Al Aaraaf, Tamerlane and Minor Poems' in 1829.

I am standing 'mid the roar

Of a weather-beaten shore, ­

And I hold within my hand

Some particles of sand -

How few! and how they creep

Thro' my fingers to the deep!

And here is the similar passage in '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,

By the way, the phrase 'Grains of the golden sand' may refer to gold dust, which was discovered in California about a year before publication of the later poem.
