A Dream Within a Dream - Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows |
| [01:59.39] |
Take this kiss upon the brow! |
| [02:04.14] |
And, in parting from you now, |
| [02:12.17] |
Thus much let me avow- |
| [02:23.15] |
You are not wrong, who deem |
| [02:26.99] |
That my days have been a dream; |
| [02:30.36] |
Yet if hope has flown away |
| [02:36.96] |
In a night, or in a day, |
| [02:40.01] |
In a vision, or in none, |
| [02:43.41] |
Is it therefore the less gone? |
| [02:50.39] |
All that we see or seem |
| [03:02.19] |
Is but a dream within a dream. |
| [03:36.66] |
|
| [03:42.89] |
I stand amid the roar |
| [03:46.50] |
Of a surf-tormented shore, |
| [03:54.68] |
And I hold within my hand |
| [03:59.00] |
Grains of the golden sand- |
| [04:07.58] |
How few! yet how they creep |
| [04:13.91] |
Through my fingers to the deep, |
| [04:20.25] |
While I weep- while I weep! |
| [04:33.31] |
|
| [04:34.93] |
O God! can I not grasp |
| [04:41.65] |
Them with a tighter clasp? |
| [04:46.60] |
O God! can I not save |
| [04:52.74] |
One from the pitiless wave? |
| [05:00.34] |
Is all that we see or seem |
| [05:12.57] |
But a dream within a dream? |
| [05:21.37] |
