Four songs , opus 26

I dreamt I loved a Star,
A Star so far above me;
She said: "It is in vain,
Men seek to know and love me."

I dreamt that I was dead.
Methought that I was lying
Deep in a grave, deep down
The winds above me sighing.

In the darkness of the grave
I saw my Star below me.
She said: "My name is Peace,
And only here men know me."

Just a multitude of curls,
Weighing down a little head;
Two wide eyes, not blue nor gray,
Like the sky 'twixt night and day,
Small red mouth and all to say,
Has been sold.

Just a saucy word or glance
And a hand held out to kiss;
Just a curl a ribbon through
Just a flower fresh and blue,
And to think what men will do
Just for this!
