take the kiss upon the brow!
and in parting from u now
thus must let u 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 wave
is all tat we see or seem
is a dream within a dream
