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. 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?
