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?
In a vision, or in none
Is it therefore the less gone?
[Chorus]
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream
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?
In a vision, or in none
Is it therefore the less gone?
[Chorus]
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream
