EXILE

EXILE

I awake from dreams of thee,From the unquiet realms of sleep;I awake from Felicity,I awake to thoughts that keepTheir bitterness hid and deep.I awake from dreams of loveEcstatic, so pure, so sweet;I awake—’tis only to proveThat the midday sun shall beatOn my lonely lips and feet.

I awake from dreams of thee,From the unquiet realms of sleep;I awake from Felicity,I awake to thoughts that keepTheir bitterness hid and deep.I awake from dreams of loveEcstatic, so pure, so sweet;I awake—’tis only to proveThat the midday sun shall beatOn my lonely lips and feet.

I awake from dreams of thee,From the unquiet realms of sleep;I awake from Felicity,I awake to thoughts that keepTheir bitterness hid and deep.

I awake from dreams of thee,

From the unquiet realms of sleep;

I awake from Felicity,

I awake to thoughts that keep

Their bitterness hid and deep.

I awake from dreams of loveEcstatic, so pure, so sweet;I awake—’tis only to proveThat the midday sun shall beatOn my lonely lips and feet.

I awake from dreams of love

Ecstatic, so pure, so sweet;

I awake—’tis only to prove

That the midday sun shall beat

On my lonely lips and feet.
