It Was A Dream circa 1898

I heard the rippling brooklet sing
among the poplar trees,
I heard the willows whispering
unto the evening breeze,
unto the evening breeze,
Again I looked on the old, old place,
again I saw my darling's face,
again we wandered by the stream,
again we wandered by the stream,

It was a dream, it was a dream,
again I looked on the old, old place,
again I saw my darling's face
It was a dream, it was a dream,
again we wandered by the stream,
it was a dream, it was a dream.

I saw the wand'ring streamlet flow
down to the cold grey sea,
I saw the bending willows bow,
in welcome over me,
in welcome over me,
Again I listened to breeze and bird,
again my darling's voice I heard;
We kissed beneath the moon's soft beam,
we kissed beneath the moon's soft beam,

It was a dream, it was a dream,
again I listened to breeze and bird,
again my darling's voice I heard,
it was a dream,
It was a dream,
We kissed beneath the moon's soft beam;
It was a dream,
it was a dream.
