[00:04.668]A Dream Within A Dream
[00:17.576]Take this kiss upon the brow!
[00:25.89]And,in parting from you now,
[00:29.694]Thus much let me avow-
[00:35.198]You are not wrong,who deem
[00:42.651]That my days have been a dream;
[00:46.657]Yet if hope has flown away
[01:09.884]In a night,or in a day,
[01:34.952]In a vision,or in none,
[01:58.25]Is it therefore the less gone?
[02:06.578]All that we see or seem
[02:11.147]Is but a dream within a dream.
[02:19.857]All that we see or seem
[02:28.715]All that we see or seem
[02:32.865]Is but a dream within a dream.
[03:14.878]I stand amid the roar
[03:19.185]Of a surf-tormented shore,
[03:28.508]And I hold within my hand
[03:31.671]Grains of the golden sand-
[03:41.747]How few!yet how they creep
[03:44.537]Through my fingers to the deep,
[03:53.783]While I weep –while I weep!
[04:04.811]O God!can I not grasp
[04:06.924]Them with a tighter clasp?
[04:12.777]O God!can I not save
[04:14.484]One from the pitiless wave?
[04:24.54]Is all that we see or seem
[04:26.917]But a dream within a dream?

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 seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
All that we see or seem
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?
