Overview

Amid The Roar --- 2012-01-25

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 finders 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? Poem By E.A. Poe
