Letra de Dream Within a Dream

All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream Take this kiss upon the brow And in parting from you now This much let me avow You are not wrong who deemed That my days have been a dream Yet if hope has flown away In a night, in a day, in a vision, or a memory 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 the surf tormented shore And i hold within my hands Grains of golden sand How few yet 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 But a dream within a dream
