Lying alone I dreamed a dream last night:
Methought that Joy had come to comfort me
For all the past, its suffering and slight,
Yet in my heart I felt this could not be.
Methought that Joy had come to comfort me
For all the past, its suffering and slight,
Yet in my heart I felt this could not be.

Too beautiful to last beyond to-morrow;
Then suddenly his features seemed to change,—
The mask of joy dropped from the face of Sorrow.
Too beautiful to last beyond to-morrow;
Then suddenly his features seemed to change,—
The mask of joy dropped from the face of Sorrow.
