A Dream Within A Dream
Chandeen - 《Pandora's Box》
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And in parting from you now
You are not wrong who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
Is it therefore the less gone?
Is but a dream within a dream
Is but a dream within a dream
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!
Them with a tighter clasp?
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
