A Dream Lyrics by Patrick Hawes

Songs of Innocence

2020

Once a dream did weave a shade
O’er my Angel-guarded bed
That an Emmet lost it’s way
Where on grass methought I lay

Troubled wildered and forlorn
Dark benighted travel-worn
Over many a tangled spray
All heart-broke I heard her say

O my children! do they cry
Do they hear their father sigh
Now they look abroad to see
Now return and weep for me

Pitying I drop’d a tear:
But I saw a glow-worm near:
Who replied, What wailing wight
Calls the watchman of the night

I am set to light the ground
Whilе the beetle goes his round:
Follow now thе beetles hum
Little wanderer hie thee home
