                                    A  Dream within a Dream

                           Um sonho dentro de um sonho




Take this kiss upon the brow !                                Aceita este beijo na testa !

And, in parting from you now,                                Agora, que me despeço de ti,

Thus much let me avow -                                         Deixa que isto confesse -

You are not wrong, who deem                               Não erram os que pensam

That my days have been a dream;                        Que os meus dias foram um sonho;

Yet if hope has flown away                                      Mas se a esperança se desvaneceu

In a night, or in a day                                                 Numa noite, ou num dia,

In a vision, or in none,                                                Numa visão ou não,

Is therefore less gone ?                                             Desaparecida não ficou ?

All that we see or seem                                             Será que tudo o que vemos ou sentimos

Is but a dream within a dream ?                            Não passa de um sonho dentro de um sonho ?







I stand amid the roar                                                 Aqui estou no meio do rugido

Of a surf-tormented shore                                       Nesta costa batida pelas ondas,

And I hold within my hand                                        Segurando na mão fechada   

Grains of the golden sand                                        Uns grãos de areia dourada;

How few ! Yet how they creep                                Tão poucos ! E como se escapam

Through my fingers to the deep,                            Entre os meus dedos para as profundezas,

While I weep - while I weep !                                   Enquanto choro - enquanto choro !

0 God !  can I not grasp                                             Oh Deus ! Porque os não agarro

Them with a tighter clasp ?                                     Com o punho mais cerrado ?

O God ! can I not save                                                Oh Deus ! Porque não salvo

One from the pitiless wave ?                                   Ao menos um destas crueis ondas ?

Is all we see or seem                                                   Será que tudo o que vemos ou sentimos

But a dream within a dream ?                                 Não passa de um sonho dentro de um sonho ?




Edgar Allan Poe  (1809-1849)
