Dreamm 1In visions of the dark night 2 I have dreamed of joy departed-- 3But a waking dream of life and light 4 Hath left me broken-hearted. 5Ah! what is not a dream by day 6 To him whose eyes are cast 7On things around him with a ray 8 Turned back upon the past? 9That holy dream--that holy dream, 10 While all the world were chiding, 11Hath cheered me as a lovely beam 12 A lonely spirit guiding. 13What though that light, thro' storm and night, 14 So trembled from afar-- 15What could there be more purely bright 16 In Truth's day-star?poster yourself
A Dream within Dream 1Take this kiss upon the brow! 2And, in parting from you now, 3Thus much let me avow-- 4You are not wrong, who deem 5That my days have been a dream; 6Yet if hope has flown away 7In a night, or in a day, 8In a vision, or in none, 9Is it therefore the less gone? 10All that we see or seem 11Is but a dream within a dream. 12I stand amid the roar 13Of a surf-tormented shore, 14And I hold within my hand 15Grains of the golden sand-- 16How few! yet how they creep 17Through my fingers to the deep, 18While I weep--while I weep! 19O God! can I not grasp 20Them with a tighter clasp? 21O God! can I not save 22One from the pitiless wave? yourself
