Once I Had a Dream

Once I had a Dream
but Now that Dream is Gone from Me
I Slept Away through Night and Day
but Away my Dream Fled from Me

Once I had a Hope
but Now that Hope runs Thin
still I Pray to God far Away
but Pray I Dare Though that Hope runs Thin

Once I had Love
but Now that Love is Dead
she is Slumbering under Stone and Wondering
why Slumbering Angels' Loves are Dead
