00:00:08,540 --> 00:00:13,180
I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore,

3
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:18,720
And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand--

4
00:00:19,740 --> 00:00:24,680
How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep,

5
00:00:25,220 --> 00:00:27,720
While I weep--while I weep!

6
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,620
O God! Can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp?

7
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,880
O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave?

8
00:00:38,940 --> 00:00:44,480
Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream?
