| [00:10.20] |
Take this kiss upon the brow! |
| [00:14.20] |
And, in parting from you now, |
| [00:17.00] |
Thus much let me avow- |
| [00:23.00] |
You are not wrong, who deem |
| [00:25.70] |
That my days have been a dream; |
| [00:30.00] |
Yet if hope has flown away |
| [00:32.00] |
In a night, or in a day, |
| [00:35.00] |
In a vision, or in none, |
| [00:38.70] |
Is it therefore the less gone? |
| [00:44.40] |
All that we see or seem |
| [00:48.40] |
Is but a dream within a dream. |
| [00:52.00] |
|
| [00:59.00] |
I stand amid the roar |
| [01:01.80] |
Of a surf-tormented shore, |
| [01:03.85] |
And I hold within my hand |
| [01:06.20] |
Grains of the golden sand- |
| [01:09.90] |
How few! yet how they creep |
| [01:15.86] |
Through my fingers to the deep, |
| [01:17.91] |
While I weep- while I weep! |
| [01:22.14] |
Oh God! Can I not grasp them with a tighter clasp? |
| [01:28.27] |
Oh God! Can I not save one from the pitiless wave? |
| [01:37.77] |
Is all that we see or seem? |
| [01:43.72] |
But a dream within a dream? |
| [01:49.72] |
<The End> |
