I think that this poem tell that many people don't think about things which may be fascinated and beutiful - they think that the sleep is shutting the eyes - but it is more

The poet conveys her idea of immortality more divinely and eloquently than all but the most inspired Christian minister. Her description of the coming day of reckoning is exquisite and compared as a breathtaking heavenly sunrise for some or stormy red clouds of doom for others.

this poem is great i think it shows how much we need our sleep, so when we wake we are as refreshed as we're supposed to be...
i agree with many this is a great poem as well with her other poems as well.
