Dreamt a dream What can it really mean And that I was, I was a maiden queen Guarded by, yes by an angel mild Witless woe, was ne'er beguild So he took He took his wings and fleed Then the morning blush'd rosy red Chorus And I wept both night and day And he wip'd my tears away And I wept both night and day And I hid from him my hearts delight Dried my tears And yet I armed my fears Armed them with ten thousand shields and spears Soon he came My angel came again l was armed, he came in vain For the time The time of youth was fled And grey hairs, grey hairs were on my head Chorus
