+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?
