Am G

In Visons of the dark night

I have dreamed of joy departed

But a waking dream of life and light

Has left me broken hearted

Am G

That dream--that holy dream

while all the world was chiding

has cheeded me as a lovely beam

a lonely spirit guiding

Am G

Ah what is not a deam by day

To him whose eyes are cast

on things around hom with a ray

turned back upon thw past?

E

E Am

Take this kiss upon the brow

and, in parting from you now

thus much let me avow

E

you are not wrong who deem

that my days have been a drem;

yet if hope has flown away

in a night or in a day

Am E

in a vision or in none,

is it therefore the less gone?

all that we see or seen

is but a dream within a dream.

Am G

what though that light, through storm and noght

so trembled from afar

what could there be more purely bright

in truth's day-star?

Am G

That holy dream---that holy dream

while all the world was chiding

has cheered me as a lovely beam

a lonely spirit guiding.
