Nolwenn Leroy - A Dream lyrics

In visions of the dark night I have dreamed of joy departed But a waking dream of life and light Have left me broken-hearted Ah! what is not a dream by day To him whose eyes are cast On things around him with a ray Turned back upon the past? That holy dream that holy dream While all the world were chiding childing What though that light, thro' storm and night So trembled from afar What could there be more purely bright In Truth's day-star? That holy dream that holy dream While all the world were chiding childing Hath cheered me as a lovely beam A lonely spirit guiding That holy dream that holy dream A lonely spirit guiding
