I'll Dream Of Thee 1908 'Algeria'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 25 Mar 2004

In Allah's garden I am dreaming,
around me reigns a silence grand.
A crimson moon in splendor gleaming,
has made the world a wonderland,
Love's mighty spell has fallen o'er me,
it seems my weary soul is free.
And o'er the desert sands before me.
My spirit wings its way to thee.

My dream shall be thy dream,
all the desert void I span.
I see thee before me
riding in love's caravan.
No harm shall betide thee
thy love rides beside thee;
My Queen, till the golden dawn is beaming
I'll dream of thee.

I love thee with a love unending,
that fills my soul with joy sublime,
in dreams of hope and mem'ry blending,
I wander o'er the sands of time.
Again we meet where first I found thee.
I see the love light in thine eyes.
I feel thy tender arms around me
and drift away to Paradise.

My dream shall be thy dream,
all the desert void I span.
I see thee before me
riding in love's caravan.
No harm shall betide thee
thy love rides beside thee;
My Queen, till the golden dawn is beaming
I'll dream of thee.
