A Dream Within a Dream Lyrics
Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
For my own part
I have never had a thought
Which I could not set down in words
With even more distinctness
Than that with which I conceived itThere is however a class of fancies
Of exquisite delicacy, which are not thoughts
And to which as yet I have found it
Absolutely impossible to adapt to languageThese fancies arise in the soul
Alas how rarely, only at epochs
Of most intense tranquility
When the bodily and mental
Health are in perfectionAnd at those weird points of time
Where the confines of the waking world
Blend with the world of dreams
And so I captured this fancy
Where all that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream
