Sleep thy sweet sleep, oh, dream of mine,
And let me visit you from time to time.
As centuries a second seem
When my reality’s a dream.

Drive all nightmares away and smile
And be serene for just a while,
As life is only a sun beam
When my reality’s a dream.

Close your eyes, twilight awaits.
Choose a fate from all the fates
And wake up at rooster’s scream
When my reality’s a dream.

Put down your wings and rest,
Take off your hat and jest,
Pick up a world to trim
When my reality’s a dream.
