I Still Dream

I still dream and just dream
A tiny voice says it's sufficient
Just pick some stones downstream
To build a castle magnificent

I still dream and just dream
To see the beauty of your face
Loveliest visions of pure love beam
And memories of nameless grace

I still dream and just dream
Strands of hair that gently kiss your face
Touched by wind and stars agleam
With love so pure, so dear in its dwelling place

I still dream and just dream
Of the house I knew before
Where roses and violets grew by the stream
But now they fade for sure and are no more

I still dream and just dream
Of the trees I climbed, dark and high
To view their slender tops supreme
A childish dream to touch the sky

I still dream and just dream
But now fond hopes are pure pipedreams
Dead years like dark clouds in heaven's height
So sad, so strange, they still lurk in all delight

What is my only comfort in life and death
What is my only comfort in life and death

What is my only comfort
What is my only comfort
What is my only comfort in life and death

I shun the dream of heaven for there's little joy
It's much farther than I was just a boy
