Thus much let me avow-<br> | |||
You are not wrong, who deem<br> | |||
That my days have been a dream;<br> | |||
Yet if hope has flown away<br> | |||
In a night, or in a day,<br> | |||
In a vision, or in none,<br> | |||
Is it therefore the less gone?<br> | |||
All that we see or seem<br> | |||
Is but a dream within a dream.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
I stand amid the roar<br> | |||
Of a surf-tormented shore,<br> | |||
And I hold within my hand<br> | |||
Grains of the golden sand-<br> | |||
How few! yet how they creep<br> | |||
Through my fingers to the deep,<br> | |||
While I weep- while I weep!<br> | |||
O God! can I not grasp<br> | |||
Them with a tighter clasp?<br> | |||
O God! can I not save<br> | |||
One from the pitiless wave?<br> | |||
Is all that we see or seem<br> | |||
But a dream within a dream?<br> | |||

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 seem
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
But a dream within a dream?
(Edgar Allan Poe)
