The Sleeper

by Edgar Allan Poe

In Edgar Allan Poe's captivating poem, "The Sleeper," the reader is drawn into a world of mystery and suspense as they encounter a young woman named Irene, who lies seemingly lifeless in a deep, enigmatic slumber. As the night unfolds, an eerie silence fills the room, broken only by the ticking of the clock and the soft whispers of the wind rustling through the trees outside. The narrator, captivated by Irene's beauty and the unsettling stillness of her slumber, finds himself drawn to her bedside, filled with a mix of curiosity and dread.
