The angel
by Emily Loizeau

I dreamt a dream! What can it mean?
And that I was a maiden Queen :
Guarded by an Angel mild :
Witless woe, was neer beguil´d!
I dreamt a dream! What can it mean?
And that I was a maiden Queen (X2)
And I wept both night and day
And he wip´d my tears away
And I wept both day and night
And hid from him my hearts delight
I dreamt a dream! What can it mean?
And that I was a maiden Queen (X2)
So he took his wings and fled :
Then the morn blush´d rosy red :
I dried my tears & armd my fears,
With ten thousand shields and spears.
Soon my Angel came again :
I was arm´d, he came in vain :
For the time of youth was fled
And grey hairs were on my head
I dreamt a dream! What can it mean?
And that I was a maiden Queen (X4)
And that I was a maiden Queen :
Guarded by an Angel mild :
Witless woe, was neer beguil´d!
I dreamt a dream! What can it mean?
And that I was a maiden Queen (X2)
And I wept both night and day
And he wip´d my tears away
And I wept both day and night
And hid from him my hearts delight
I dreamt a dream! What can it mean?
And that I was a maiden Queen (X2)
So he took his wings and fled :
Then the morn blush´d rosy red :
I dried my tears & armd my fears,
With ten thousand shields and spears.
Soon my Angel came again :
I was arm´d, he came in vain :
For the time of youth was fled
And grey hairs were on my head
I dreamt a dream! What can it mean?
And that I was a maiden Queen (X4)
