Title: A Dream
Artist: Revel 68

intro:Am, G

Am             G
In Visons of the dark night
I have dreamed of joy departed
But a waking dream of life and light
Has left me broken hearted

Am             G
That dream--that holy dream
while all the world was chiding
has cheeded me as a lovely beam
a lonely spirit guiding

Am             G
Ah what is not a deam by day
To him whose eyes are cast
on things around hom with a ray
turned back upon thw past?

E

E               Am
Take this kiss upon the brow
and, in parting from you now
thus much let me avow
E
you are not wrong who deem
that my days have been a drem;
yet if hope has flown away
in a night or in a day
Am               E
in a vision or in none,
is it therefore the less gone?
all that we see or seen
is but a dream within a dream.

Am               G
what though that light, through storm and noght
so trembled from afar
what could there be more purely bright
in truth's day-star?
Am                   G
That holy dream---that holy dream
while all the world was chiding
has cheered me as a lovely beam
a lonely spirit guiding.
