Have I dreamed or was it real	A
What I saw as in a vision	B
When to marches hymeneal	A
In the land of the Ideal	A
Moved my thought o'er Fields Elysian	B
	-
What are these the guests whose glances	C
Seemed like sunshine gleaming round me	D
These the wild bewildering fancies	E
That with dithyrambic dances	F
As with magic circles bound me	D
	-
Ah how cold are their caresses	C
Pallid cheeks and haggard bosoms	C
Spectral gleam their snow white dresses	C
And from loose dishevelled tresses	C
Fall the hyacinthine blossoms	C
	-
O my songs whose winsome measures	C
Filled my heart with secret rapture	G
Children of my golden leisures	C
Must even your delights and pleasures	C
Fade and perish with the capture	G
	-
Fair they seemed those songs sonorous	C
When they came to me unbidden	B
Voices single and in chorus	C
Like the wild birds singing o'er us	C
In the dark of branches hidden	B
	-
Disenchantment Disillusion	B
Must each noble aspiration	B
Come at last to this conclusion	B
Jarring discord wild confusion	B
Lassitude renunciation	B
	-
Not with steeper fall nor faster	G
From the sun's serene dominions	C
Not through brighter realms nor vaster	G
In swift ruin and disaster	G
Icarus fell with shattered pinions	C
	-
Sweet Pandora dear Pandora	G
Why did mighty Jove create thee	D
Coy as Thetis fair as Flora	G
Beautiful as young Aurora	G
If to win thee is to hate thee	D
	-
No not hate thee for this feeling	H
Of unrest and long resistance	C
Is but passionate appealing	H
A prophetic whisper stealing	H
O'er the chords of our existence	C
	-
Him whom thou dost once enamour	G
Thou beloved never leavest	I
In life's discord strife and clamor	G
Still he feels thy spell of glamour	G
Him of Hope thou ne'er bereavest	I
	-
Weary hearts by thee are lifted	I
Struggling souls by thee are strengthened	I
Clouds of fear asunder rifted	I
Truth from falsehood cleansed and sifted	I
Lives like days in summer lengthened	I
	-
Therefore art thou ever clearer	G
O my Sibyl my deceiver	G
For thou makest each mystery clearer	G
And the unattained seems nearer	G
When thou fillest my heart with fever	G
	-
Muse of all the Gifts and Graces	C
Though the fields around us wither	G
There are ampler realms and spaces	C
Where no foot has left its traces	C
Let us turn and wander thither	G
