Lyrics
A nightmare’s not, I sleeping learned last night, A bloody monster hissing in the dark, Not glaring, raging eyes that leave a fright, Not chasing, hellish hounds who hungry bark. [oboe solo] A nightmare is, instead, a figure fine With flashing sapphire eyes and golden hair. You meet and drink each other’s gaze like wine, And she’s the one you’ve saved your soul to share. [flute solo] I woke and shut my eyes secure in vain And, longing, tried then to return to her, But dawn had cut our spirits linking chain And left me alone in wistful grief astir. [silence] If God there be, I ask in grave despair, Please let me find on earth my true nightmare. [cadence]
