My Lady is my dream-girl,
My dream-girl, my dream-girl,
A phantasy of mind awhirl,
A bubble on love-streams that purl
O'er beds where gold doth gleam;
I see her in the Morn's blush,
The Morn's blush, the Morn's blush,
I hear her in the migrant thrush,
In rippling brooks 'neath woodland brush,
My Lady's but a dream.

My Lady lives in Dream Land,
In Dream Land, in Dream Land,
With elfs and sprites on golden strand,
Herself a queen of phantom band
Who rules o'er all, supreme;
I would I were an elf-man,
An elf-man, an elf-man,
A member of my Lady's clan,
Her king in realms elysian;
My Lady's but a dream.
