He andado muchos caminos

 

Un poema de "Soledades" de Antonio Machado, al que le puso esta música (creo) un compañero mío, Fernando Montes, en el instituto allá por 1970 y tantos. Me he acordado de ella al reciclar la melodía para "Vientos del Pueblo".

A Dream within a Dream

 


A Dream within a Dream

a Poem by Poe:

 

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?
