A Dream Within a Dream |
Take this kiss upon the brow! |
And, in parting from you now |
Thus much let me avow |
You are not wrong who deem |
That my days have been a dream |
Yet if hope has flown away |
In a night, or in a day |
In a vision, or in none |
Is it therefore the less gone? |
All that we see or seen |
Is but 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 |
While I weep-while I weep! |
O God! |
can I not grasp |
Them with a tighter clasp? |
O God! |
can I not save |
One from the pitiless wave? |
Is all that we see or seem |
Bu a dream within a dream? |
