DREAMING, by                    
First Line: Softly through my soul tonight
Last Line: Gladdened by these tender eyes- / ah! I'm merely dreaming
Subject(s): Dreams; Nightmares


SOFTLY through my soul to-night
Flows a mystical delight, --
Flows a mellow, pleasant light,
Softly, gently beaming;
And the sweetest music floats,
As from distant angel throats,
Swelling with seraphic notes
For a soul that's dreaming.

Tender eyes that seem to glow
With a love that angels show,
Far too deep for man to know,
On me now are beaming;
And my soul in sweet surprise,
Calmly resting, gently lies,
Gladdened by these tender eyes --
Ah! I'm merely dreaming.
