The Works of Edgar Allan Poe Take This Kiss Upon THE Brow! AND IN Parting From YOU NOW Thus Much LET ME Avow- YOU ARE NOT Wrong, WHO Dream 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 They Creep Through MY Fingers TO THE Deep While I Weep- While I Weep O Goodness! CAN I NOT Grasp Them With A Tighter Clasp O Goodness! CAN I NOT Save ONE From THE Pitiless Wave? IS ALL That WE SEE OR Seem A Dream Within A Dream?
