Dream Within A Dream

Elysian Fields


( edgar allan poe )

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
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 hands
Grains of the golden sand
Oh 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
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream
Dream, dream, dream ...
