The Garden Of Dreams 1903 R. de Koven

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 28 Jul 2005

Let us walk in the garden of dreams, love,
the mystical garden of dreams;
where thoughts are the only things real,
and the world is almost what it seems.
Where hopes that our fancy creates, love,
and the joys we imagine to be
are the flowers that bloom for us there, love,
when you walk the dream garden with me.

Come, love, come!
To the beautiful garden of dreams.
Come! love, come!
By its flowering pathways and dreams.
Oh! come, while youth is a flying.
Joy loves; hope is undying,
come to the garden of dreams, love,
the beautiful garden of dreams.

There are blossoms of earth
that may fade, dear,
but not in the garden of dreams;
for Spring there is endless as youth, dear,
where the sun of thy love throws its beams.
We'll gather the hopes and the joys, dear,
as they bloom by the dream flowered way,
nor ever shall wither while love, dear,
in our garden of dream sheds its ray.

Come, love, come!
To the beautiful garden of dreams.
Come! love, come!
By its flowering pathways and dreams.
Oh! come, while youth is a flying.
Joy loves; hope is undying,
come to the garden of dreams, love,
the beautiful garden of dreams,
to the garden of dreams.
