William Blake Lyrics (as used by the Voodoo Skins)
I dreamed a dream! What can it mean?
And that I was a maiden Queen,
Guarded by an Angel mild:
Witless woe was ne'er beguil'd!
And I wept both day and night,
And he wip'd my tears away,
And I wept both day and night,
And hid from him my hearts delight.
So he took his wings and fled;
Then the morn blushed rosy red;
I dried my tears, & armed my fears
With ten thousand shields and spears.
Soon my Angel came again;
I was armed, he came in vain;
For the time of youth was fled
And grey hairs were on my head.
William Blake (1757-1837)
