[00:10.20]Take this kiss upon the brow!
[00:14.20]And, in parting from you now,
[00:17.00]Thus much let me avow-
[00:23.00]You are not wrong, who deem
[00:25.70]That my days have been a dream;
[00:30.00]Yet if hope has flown away
[00:32.00]In a night, or in a day,
[00:35.00]In a vision, or in none,
[00:38.70]Is it therefore the less gone?
[00:44.40]All that we see or seem
[00:48.40]Is but a dream within a dream.
[00:52.00]
[00:59.00]I stand amid the roar
[01:01.80]Of a surf-tormented shore,
[01:03.85]And I hold within my hand
[01:06.20]Grains of the golden sand-
[01:09.90]How few! yet how they creep
[01:15.86]Through my fingers to the deep,
[01:17.91]While I weep- while I weep!
[01:22.14]Oh God! Can I not grasp them with a tighter clasp?
[01:28.27]Oh God! Can I not save one from the pitiless wave?
[01:37.77]Is all that we see or seem？
[01:43.72]But a dream within a dream？
[01:49.72]

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!
Oh God! Can I not grasp them with a tighter clasp?
Oh God! Can I not save one from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem？
But a dream within a dream？
