A Dream Within A Dream
--------
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?

Description:
This is my favorite poem
it tugs my heart and riddles my brain
and feeds my soul
and torments my vision

i don't understand how anyone could ever rate this less than 5 stars.
i mean this is sure genius.
i'm very ashamed of whoever dropped the average rate of this thing to 3stars.
the one responsible for this knows nothing of poetry - Report As Spam
