I knew, the dream that I’m to dream does know, how much I am an addict to the elixir.
I know how painful would even my dream feel, when I fall off the cliff.
I know how distasteful would the dream be from a misfortune’s sniff..
...
Sang I, in the midst of the night,
Aloud, So could you hear,
Caught up with some strange fright,
As If the time to part was near
...
Sing to me your silence,
Numb me with the absence in your presence,
And push me to that sleep,
Where I’m denied the right to dream
...
From the loud silences,
My heart could hear cries,
My soul felt the disturbances,
My sleep was uneven,
