The Angel

Dreamt a dream
What can it really mean
And that I was, I was a maiden queen
Guarded by, yes by an angel mild
Witless woe, was ne'er beguild

So he took
He took his wings and fleed
Then the morning blush'd rosy red

And I wept both night and day
And he wip'd my tears away
And I wept both night and day
And I hid from him my hearts delight

Dried my tears
And yet I armed my fears
Armed them with ten thousand shields and spears
Soon he came
My angel came again
L was armed, he came in vain

For the time
The time of youth was fled
And grey hairs, grey hairs were on my head

And I wept both night and day
And he wip'd my tears away
And I wept both night and day
And I hid from him my hearts delight
