I dreamt a dream! What can it mean?
______ that I was a maiden Queen
Guarded by an ______ mild:
Witless woe was ne’er beguiled!
And I wept ______ night and day,
And he wiped my tears away;
______ I wept both day and night,
And hid from ______ my heart’s delight.
So he took his wings, and fled;
Then the morn blushed rosy red.
I dried my tears, and armed my fears
With ten thousand shields and spears.
Soon my Angel came again;
I was armed, he ______ in vain;
For the time of youth was fled,
______ grey hairs were on my head.
