I dreamt a dream ! What can it mean ?
And that I was a maiden Queen :
Guarded by an Angel mild :

Witless woe, was neer beguil'd !

I dreamt a dream ! What can it mean ?

And that I was a maiden Queen (X2)

And I wept both night and day

And he wip'd my tears away
And I wept both day and night
And hid from him my hearts delight


I dreamt a dream ! What can it mean ?
And that I was a maiden Queen (X2)


So he took his wings and fled :
Then the morn blush'd rosy red :

I dried my tears & armd my fears,
With ten thousand shields and spears.


Soon my Angel came again :
I was arm'd, he came in vain :
For the time of youth was fled

And grey hairs were on my head

I dreamt a dream ! What can it mean ?

And that I was a maiden Queen (X4)
