Oh, I had dreamed
and within that world
an angel came to life.
Oh, you are that angel who stole my heart.
Oh, is the world that I dream real
when I slumber upon my pillow
do I awake to you.
Or are you a creation of my mind
like the lord created adam
from the sands of the time.
Oh, am I mad?
Or do you live somewhere
in this world of mine.
Oh, the other day
as I walked along a crowded sidewalk
I thought I saw your face
But oh when I turned back you were gone.
Oh, I have seen a dream
come to life.
A creature come down
from some distant star
I know not where.
Oh, haunted I am
by a mystic lovely creature
that gives my soul its worth.
Oh, for I know you are an angel created
when the ancient of days
so mingled the elements
and breathed into you
the beauty of his soul.
My heart you have taken
Oh, flower of creation.
Oh, my poor heart
a heart that is one with you!
I cease to be as you begin.
Oh, though mad I may be
and forever lost in the endless maze of mind
or seen the most beautiful angel
that has ever walked upon the earth
I know I shall ever be haunted by your charms.
