A dream within a dream

Description

The poem is E.A.Poe "A dream within a dream" (I just love his poems, sometimes more than his tales! :giggle:)
Here's the poem (in case it was not readable, I really hope not though!!XD)

a dream within a dream- E.A.Poe
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?

I hope you like it...!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DRAGA!!! :heart:
