A Dream Within A Dream
The Sundial

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 (a dream) (x2)
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,
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream (a dream) (x2)

Oh, God! Can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
Oh, God! Can I not save
One from the pitiless wave (wave... wave...)?
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!
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
