I wept in my dream
Julius Matthes
I wept in my dream -
I dreamed you lay in a grave.
I awoke, and my tears
Still flowed down my cheeks.
I wept in my dream -
I dreamed you had abandoned me.
I awoke and I cried
Bitterly for a long while.
I wept in my dream -
I dreamed you were still good to me.
I awoke, and still
Streams my flood of tears.
