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 recited this poem to my boyfriend, he looked as if he was gunna cry. I asked what's wrong. He said I'm in love with a dork lol. I smacked him and he said he's glad he is inlove with such a beautiful dork. I love him so much [3
In Poe's dark forbidding night When there can be no sight Of the dangers lurking near Of which there is much to fear. But in the inner peace of Poe With the scratch of pen, his words flow Capturing his tortured thoughts in kind A parable, to escape the world that binds, To set him free to dream Of that which is not as seem. As he awaits the judgement day. s
Very nicely executed. It is really a beautiful poem. Thanks for sharing.
