a dream within a dream - charles martin loeffler lyrics

Loading...

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?

- charles martin loeffler lyrics
