Dream in a Dream
Take this kiss upon the brow!
Thus much let me avow—
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Oh, led astray—
Yet if hope has flown away
Oh, led astray—
In a night or in a day
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
And I hold within my hand
The grains of the golden sand—
Oh, while I weep—
How few! yet how, yet how they creep
Oh, while I weep—
Through my fingers to the deep
And is all that we seem
Just an endless, pitiless dream?
Are we swept away by a stream?
Is it all just a dream in a dream?
Oh please, let me awake,
Hear my plea; for God's sake!
Let me find the way out of the darkest night!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the cheerless wave?
And is all that we seem
Just an endless, pitiless dream?
Are we swept away by a stream?
Is it all just a dream in a dream?
Oh please, let me awake,
Hear my plea; for God's sake!
Let me find the way out of the darkest night!
And is all that we see or we seem
Just an endless, pitiless dream?
Are we swept away by a stream?
Is it all just a dream in a dream?
Oh please, let me awake,
Hear my plea; for God's sake!
Let me follow the way in the saving light!
Thus much let me avow—
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Oh, led astray—
Yet if hope has flown away
Oh, led astray—
In a night or in a day
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
And I hold within my hand
The grains of the golden sand—
Oh, while I weep—
How few! yet how, yet how they creep
Oh, while I weep—
Through my fingers to the deep
And is all that we seem
Just an endless, pitiless dream?
Are we swept away by a stream?
Is it all just a dream in a dream?
Oh please, let me awake,
Hear my plea; for God's sake!
Let me find the way out of the darkest night!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the cheerless wave?
And is all that we seem
Just an endless, pitiless dream?
Are we swept away by a stream?
Is it all just a dream in a dream?
Oh please, let me awake,
Hear my plea; for God's sake!
Let me find the way out of the darkest night!
And is all that we see or we seem
Just an endless, pitiless dream?
Are we swept away by a stream?
Is it all just a dream in a dream?
Oh please, let me awake,
Hear my plea; for God's sake!
Let me follow the way in the saving light!
