I dreamt a dream ! What can it mean ?
And that I was a maiden Queen :
Guarded by an Angel mild :
Witless woe, was neer beguil’d !
I dreamt a dream ! What can it mean ?
And that I was a maiden Queen (X2)
And I wept both night and day
And he wip’d my tears away
And I wept both day and night
And hid from him my hearts delight
I dreamt a dream ! What can it mean ?
And that I was a maiden Queen (X2)
So he took his wings and fled :
Then the morn blush’d rosy red :
I dried my tears & armd my fears,
With ten thousand shields and spears.
Soon my Angel came again :
I was arm’d, he came in vain :
For the time of youth was fled
And grey hairs were on my head
I dreamt a dream ! What can it mean ?
And that I was a maiden Queen (X4)
