歌词
In visions of the dark night
I have dreamed of joy departed
But a waking dream of life and light
Hath left me broken-hearted
Ah! what is not a dream by day
To him whose eyes are cast
On things around him with a ray
Turned back upon the past
That holy dream- that holy dream
While all the world were chiding
Hath cheered me as a lovely beam
A lonely spirit guiding
What though that light thro' storm and night
So trembled from afar
What could there be more purely bright
In Truth's day-star
