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?编辑于2023/05/08更新
