Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow --

[Verse 2]
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,

[Chorus]
Is this life, or just a dream?
A fragile thread, torn at the seam
I reach for truth, but all I find
Is shadows playing in my mind

[Verse 3]
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.

[Verse 4]
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand --

[Chorus]
Is this life, or just a dream?
A fragile thread, torn at the seam
I reach for truth, but all I find
Is shadows playing in my mind

[Bridge]
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep -- while I weep!

[Verse 5]
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?

[Outro]
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
