If I had but two little wings And were a little feathery bird, To you I’d fly, my dear! But thoughts like these are idle things And I stay here. But in my sleep to you I fly: I’m always with you in my sleep! The world is all one’s own. And then one wakes, and where am I? All, all alone. Sleep stays not, though a monarch bids: So I love to wake ere break of day: For though my sleep be gone, Yet while ’tis dark, one shuts one’s lids, And still dreams on.
