Rhyme Scheme: AAABBCCDEBB FFGGHHHIIJJBB| Take this kiss upon the brow | A |
| And in parting from you now | A |
| Thus much let me avow | A |
| You are not wrong who deem | B |
| That my days have been a dream | B |
| Yet if hope has flown away | C |
| In a night or in a day | C |
| In a vision or in none | D |
| Is it therefore the less gone | E |
| All that we see or seem | B |
| Is but a dream within a dream | B |
| - | |
| I stand amid the roar | F |
| Of a surf tormented shore | F |
| And I hold within my hand | G |
| Grains of the golden sand | G |
| How few yet how they creep | H |
| Through my fingers to the deep | H |
| While I weep while I weep | H |
| O God can I not grasp | I |
| Them with a tighter clasp | I |
| O God can I not save | J |
| One from the pitiless wave | J |
| Is all that we see or seem | B |
| But a dream within a dream | B |
