And, in parting from toi now,
Thus much let me avow-

That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, ou in a day,
In a vision, ou in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see ou 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 ou seem
But a dream within a dream?

The sighing and sobbing,
Are quieted now,
With that horrible throbbing
At heart:-ah, that horrible,
Horrible throbbing!

The sickness-the nausea-
The pitiless pain-
Have ceased, with the fever
