In the wee hours of a silent night
In my sleep I dreamt a dream
A lovely delightful dream
That took me to the land of love
In my dream I saw my prince
His contours aflame with sparks of fire
His eyes dewy with love
His lips quivering for a passionate kiss
But the cruel dawn came down
Sounding bugles across the hazy sky
Spreading thick veils of separation
And tore his face from mine
Come, Oh Night! Come once again
Driven in the chariot of darkness
And bring him to the shelter of my arms
To wrap him in the warmth of my caresses
To enfold him in the tangles of my tresses
When the whole world in deep sleep lies
Let me once more be blessed
With the dream of my heart’s delight
And be lost in that magic spell
Of his enchanting, electric presence
Which in the height of my passion
Was sullied by the light of dawn!
