¶Lyrics / Text

I had a dream last night Dream of a friend that is dead He came with dawn's first light And stood beside my bed: And as he there did stand, With gesture fine and fair, He passed a wan white hand Over my tumbled hair, Saying: "No friendship dieth With death of any day, No true friendship lieth Cold with lifeless clay. "Though our boyhood's playtime, Be gone with summer's breath, No friendship fades with Maytime No friendship dies with death." Then answer had I made But that the rapture deep Did hold me, half afraid To mar that rose of sleep So with closed eyes I lay, Lord of the vision fair; And when 'twas perfect day Only the day was there. :'''''Lyrics: Julian Sturgis - ( 1848 - 1904 )''''' :'''''published in 1895'''''
