Dream
Language: English
You leaned against my breast, my love, In sympathy divine, My heart beat close to yours, my love, Your lips lay soft on mine. And in that thrilling stillness A whisper reached my ear... I love you, I love you, And the world's well lost... If I but have you near. And as I looked into your eyes... By the firelight's fitful gleam... One hour of bliss seemed surely mine. Alas! t'was but a dream.
