about

Original song on the poem of William Blake.
A song-monologue about running away from love as the youth passes by and leaves you with only grey hair.
Evolving melody line, passionate vocals, beautiful classical poetry.

lyrics

I dreamed a dream! What can it mean?
I dreamed that I was a maiden Queen,
Guarded by an Angel mild:
Witless woe was never beguiled!

And I wept both night and day,
And he wiped my my tears away,
And I wept both day and night,
And hid from him my heart's delight.

So he took his wings and fled;
And then the morning blushed rosy red;
I dried my tears and armed my fears
With ten thousand shields and spears.

Soon my Angel came again:
I was armed, he came in vain;
For the time of youth was fled,
And grey hairs were on my head.

On tip-toes he will come tonight,
On tip-wings landing in twilight,

What it was - was it just a dream?
Was this white feather left by him?
