Dream within a Dream by Edgar Allen 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 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?

Thank you for your video response, very, very well read. This, The Raven and The Conqueror Worm are my favourite of Poes Works. My account name is no longer the rustyghoul, the creation of a new one prevented me from seeing and/or responding to any video responses/comments. Sorry for that unnecessary tangent... once again; very well read :D

Take Care, Peace x
