1. I saw in a dream that peace had gone awry
And that my beloved after nearness had gone far

2. Why did I not die of grief, why did I not die of sorrow
Why did I not die of anguish, why did I not die suppressed

3. I almost swore except that would be excess
That never again would I taste a dream thereafter

4. I awoke from sighs I cannot rise from
I complain of sleeplessness when others complain of drowsiness
