A Dream Within A Dream - Chandeen

[00:04.668]A  Dream  Within  A  Dream
[00:17.576]Take  this  kiss  upon  the  brow!
[00:25.89]And,in  parting  from  you  now,
[00:29.694]Thus  much  let  me  avow-
[00:35.198]You  are  not  wrong,who  deem
[00:42.651]That  my  days  have  been  a  dream;
[00:46.657]Yet  if  hope  has  flown  away
[01:09.884]In  a  night,or  in  a  day,
[01:34.952]In  a  vision,or  in  none,
[01:58.25]Is  it  therefore  the  less  gone?
[02:06.578]All  that  we  see  or  seem
[02:11.147]Is  but  a  dream  within  a  dream.
[02:19.857]All  that  we  see  or  seem
[02:28.715]All  that  we  see  or  seem
[02:32.865]Is  but  a  dream  within  a  dream.
[03:14.878]I  stand  amid  the  roar
[03:19.185]Of  a  surf-tormented  shore,
[03:28.508]And  I  hold  within  my  hand
[03:31.671]Grains  of  the  golden  sand-
[03:41.747]How  few!yet  how  they  creep
[03:44.537]Through  my  fingers  to  the  deep,
[03:53.783]While  I  weep –while  I  weep!
[04:04.811]O  God!can  I  not  grasp
[04:06.924]Them  with  a  tighter  clasp?
[04:12.777]O  God!can  I  not  save
[04:14.484]One  from  the  pitiless  wave?
[04:24.54]Is  all  that  we  see  or  seem
[04:26.917]But  a  dream  within  a  dream?
