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?
This man is amazing everything he says is on point seriously. yes wel all no he married his cousin. I know he knew he did lol. but i guess all he saw in her was love? idk. i guess he saw past the fact that it was his cousin. to him she was more then that. it was his lover. WILD! anyway poetry is really a great way to express yourself. i've writin a few in my days lol. but never posted them. i will sooner or later since i finally have a blog...
