A Dream
Within a Dream by Edgar Allen Poe
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?
