Of Waking in the Night

Were dreams a drink, and songs a bed,
and you the love I wish to wed,
I’d drown myself and never rise,
but lay there staring in your eyes.

Yet dreams will end, the players rest—
the sun must fall into the west—
but I’m awake, covered in sweat,
and cursing still the day we met.
