O come to me in my dreams love! When the world is wrapped in sleep, And the silver moon like virgin queen, Her lonely vigils keep. When all is hushed in calm repose— The earth, and sky, and sea, Then hasten love to this far-off land, And dwell one hour with me.
O come to me in my dreams love! And cheer me on my way; And bid me look to a higher land For the dawn of a brighter day. Then breathe to heaven an earnest prayer To bless, ere you depart, With perfect love and childlike faith, This sad, despondent heart.
