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?
-Edgar Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poe is my favorite poet because he writes about many weird stuff for instance people getting killed and people getting trapped in dungeons. He also talks about what happens to him in his life like him getting married to his cousin.I guess back then it was alright and not nasty to get married to your cousin.Starting his career was not really a success because his poems weren't popular.
This poem from Edgar Allan Poe is about him having these dreams and not having these dreams.Am I making any sense..... I didn't think so.Its about a guy getting a kiss on the forehead from someone.He is having a dream about a women kissing him on the forehead and then the women just starts to leave him which is inside the dream he is having."Take this kiss upon the brow!and, in parting from you now thus much let me avow,you are not wrong , who deem."Let me confess you are not wrong, your opinion.Everything that has just happened "flown away in a night or in a day."

"I stand amid the roar" I stand in the middle of a huge wave trying to save someone.He is standing on the sand getting sand on his hands and then the sand leaves through his hands.
But then again he is imagining that its happening but really it is not happening.I had to look through the dictionary to understand the poem and I had to read the poem over and over again.This poem has very weirds words like brow,avow,amid and deem.
