4th Sign of the Apocalypse A Dream Within A Dream

4th Sign of the Apocalypse performing A Dream Within A Dream (a poem by Edgar Allan Poe) from the album, All The Children Love 4th Sign of the Apocalypse released in February, 2013 by Old Europa Cafe. All images are by Harry Whittier Frees (18791953). A Dream Within A Dream 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 surftormented 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
