First Line: IN VISION I LATELY WAS WEEPING
Last Line: CONTINUED TO FLOW AS BEFORE.
Subject(s): DREAMS; GRAVES; LOVE; TEARS; NIGHTMARES; TOMBS; TOMBSTONES;

IN vision I lately was weeping,
I dreamt thou wert laid in thy grave;
I awoke, and the tears unceasing
My cheeks continued to lave.

In vision I lately was weeping,
I dreamt I was left, love, by thee;
I awoke, and weeping continued
Both long and bitterly.

In vision I lately was weeping,
I dreamt thou wert kind as of yore;
I awoke, and my tears in torrents
Continued to flow as before.
