LYRICAL INTERMEZZO NO. 59
by: Gustavo Adolfo Becquer (1836-1870)
- wept while I was dreaming
- That thou didst buried lie;
- I woke, and with my weeping
- My cheeks were not yet dry.
- I wept while I was dreaming
- That thou hadst gone from me;
- I woke, and still kept weeping
- Full long and bitterly.
- I wept while I was dreaming
- That thou didst love me well;
- I woke, andwoe is me, love
- My tears are flowing still.
- --Translated by Chas. G. Leland
