I wept in my dream

Schumann, Robert

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.
