Many a weary night endured Since the utter charm of joy has pured My unquiet dreams, my misery How sweet if I could share with thee Unable to endure it's smile Which kindly eased my sombre veil I frightened turned my burdened head And hid in slumbers shade instead
But lifted from my mournful rest Was I by thee nocturnal guest When though did vow to suffocate My tranquil dreams in thrones bed You spoke to me with loathed glow And thus have though not kept thy vow For when thy shadow sprang on me I closed my eyes in ecstasy
