I Wept as I Lay Dreaming

Ich hab' im Traum geweinet

I wept as I lay dreaming,
I dreamed that you had died.
And, when I woke, the tear-drops
Clung to my cheeks undried.

I wept as I lay dreaming,
I dreamed you were false to me.
I woke, and for many hours
Lay weeping bitterly.

I wept as I lay dreaming,
I dreamed that your love was true! . . .
I woke, to an endless weeping,
And the endless thought of you.
