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.
