D. "And all my nightly dreams/Are where thy grey eye glances"

Explanation:

Poe is weeping over the death of a friend he loved very much. She seemed to confort him when alive, but now that she was dead the only place where the poet could meet her was in his sleep. He could see her while he was dreaming. In his dreams she was alive; her grey eyes glanced.
