Once My Love I Dreamed To Well
Once my love I dreamed to well
Of all that silence doeth entail
The hush and gentle quivering
Of midnight and the shivering
Of moon beneath the maddened night
Of moons celestial candlelight
There a morbid moon and gloom
And all the darkness that is doom
Should sweep in silence o’er my soul
And find me less that time ago
Less than times more dismal space
Which no candor can erase
Less than times unclosing eye
Gazing on a distant wry
Once my love I dreamed to well
Likes roses on a distant knell
Do bloom with red resplendidly
Do blush and then conceive
Once my love I dreamed to well
Of all that silence doth entail
The doleful sorrow and its sound
Like a whisper never found
Like a whisper on the height
Of romance in its plight
Far beyond the stolid trees
Far beneath the wake of eve
Where in the vast and distant deep
Only shadows subtly creep,
Once my love I dreamed to well
