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 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?
Edgard Allan Poe

Un sueño dentro de un sueño
¡Toma este beso en tu frente!
Y, en el momento de abandonarte,
déjame confesarte lo siguiente:
no te equivocas cuando consideras
que mis días han sido un sueño;
y si la esperanza se ha desvanecido
en una noche o en un día,
en una visión o fuera de ella,
¿es por ello menos ida?
Todo lo que vemos o parecemos
no es más que un sueño en un sueño.
Yo permanezco en el rugido
de una ribera atormentada por las olas,
y aprieto en la mano
granos de arena de oro.
¡Qué pocos y cómo se escurren
entre mis dedos al abismo,
mientras lloro, mientras lloro!
¡Oh Dios!, ¿no puedo yo estrecharlos
con más ceñido puño?
¡Oh, Dios!, ¿no puedo salvar
ni uno, de la despiadada ola?
¿Todo lo que vemos o parecemos
no es más que un sueño dentro de un sueño?
Edgard Allan Poe
