Dream
Language: English
Chosen for Diff
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.
