Dream
Last night you came to me again
In sweet shadows your feet did walk,
I no longer feel sharp that pain
As you and I in sleep did talk.
I said to you those words of old
Lost for ever in the frost of time,
But I forget your hart is cold
That you jailed me for my crime.
In to shadowed darkness I was thrown
Never again to hold or kiss you face,
You hold me still even in dreams to atone
For my life long disgrace.
