I dreamt a dream! What can it mean? And that I was a maiden Queen Guarded by an Angel mild Witless woe was ne'er beguiled! I dreamt a dream! What can it mean? And that I was a maiden Queen I dreamt a dream! What can it mean? And that I was a maiden Queen And I wept both night and day, And he wiped my tears away And I wept both day and night, And hid from him my heart's delight. I dreamt a dream! What can it mean? And that I was a maiden Queen I dreamt a dream! What can it mean? And that I was a maiden Queen So he took his wings, and fled Then the morn blushed rosy red. I dried my tears, and armed my fears With ten thousand shields and spears. Soon my Angel came again; I was armed, he came in vain For the time of youth was fled, And gray hairs were on my head. I dreamt a dream! What can it mean? And that I was a maiden Queen I dreamt a dream! What can it mean? And that I was a maiden Queen
