Here I stand amid the roar
|
Of a surf tormented shore
|
And I hold within my hand
|
Grains of a golden sand
|
How few how yet they creep
|
Through my fingers to the deep
|
While I weep, while I weep
|
|
Oh God can I not grasp
|
One with a tighter clasp
|
Oh God can I not save
|
One from the pitiless wave
|
Is all that we see or seem
|
But a dream within a dream
|
But a dream, but a dream
|
|
Take this kiss upon the brow
|
And in parting from you now
|
Is all that we see or seem
|
But a dream within a dream
|
But a dream, but a dream
|
