A Dream Within a Dream

By Edgar Allan Poe

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 fingers 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?

Dada poem

You And no one is going to be an American citizen.

I want to be a good reason to get better than your parents!

The only thing that you wake up is is a critique of the rings of popcorn.

It was pretty much the same stuff as being anything.

you are familiar with your disagreement with potato chips

The only thing that you wake in space and is a critique for the book.

It depends on what you want to say.
