The Sundial - A Dream Lyrics
[Verse 1:]In visions of the dark nightI have dreamed of joy departedBut a waking dream of life and lightHath left me broken-hearted.Ah! what is not a dream by dayTo him whose eyes are castOn things around him with a rayTurned back upon the past?[piano & violin solo][Verse 2:]That holy dream - that holy dream,While all the world were chiding,Hath cheered me as a lovely beamA lonely spirit guiding.What though that light, thro' storm and night,So trembled from afarWhat could there be more purely brightIn Truth's day - star?[violin solo]A dream...A dream...That holy dream - that holy dream,While all the world were chiding,Hath cheered me as a lovely beamA lonely spirit guiding.What though that light, thro' storm and night,So trembled from afarWhat could there be more purely brightIn Truth's day - star?A dream...A dream...In visions of the dark nightI have dreamed of joy departedBut a waking dream of life and lightHath left me broken-hearted.Ah! what is not a dream by dayTo him whose eyes are castOn things around him with a rayTurned back upon the past?
