Dream Within A Dream

[00:00.35] All that we see or seem
[00:02.24] Is but a dream within a dream
[00:06.99]
[01:26.54] Take this kiss upon the brow
[01:31.20] And in parting from you now
[01:35.28] This much let me avow
[01:38.84] You are not wrong, who deemed
[01:41.89] That my days have been a dream
[01:45.33] Yet if hope has flown away
[01:48.78] In a night, in a day, in a vision, or a memory
[01:55.81] Is it therefore the less gone?
[02:00.06] All that we see or seem
[02:03.05] Is but a dream within a dream
[02:06.81]
[02:34.87] I stand amid the roar
[02:37.62] Of a surf tormented shore
[02:41.05] And I hold within my hands
[02:43.44] Grains of golden sand
[02:47.22] How few, yet how they creep
[02:50.34] Through my fingers to the deep
[02:53.20] While I weep, while I weep
[03:00.00] Oh god, can I not grasp them with a tighter clasp?
[03:04.61] Oh god, can I not save one from the pitiless wave?
[03:09.32] Is all that we see or seem
[03:12.43] But a dream within a dream?
