I dreamed a dream last night
That in the night I died.
One thought kept gnawing at me:
“What a fool I was inside.”
And I reproached myself-
So much I’d left undone,
How I had turned away
From happiness, as from none.
From joy of being handsome,
From joy of being loved,
From rapture of discovering
All true desires, beloved.
For nowhere on this earth,
In heaven or in fire,
In the abyss of blackest seas,
No paradise, no empyrean spire
One chance alone was given,
One life alone was mine-
No one awaits for me
At gates of gold divine.
And now I am nowhere-
In utter emptiness,
Without a body, out of time,
To endless oblivion’s stress.
A traveler into nowhere,
Not knowing anyone,
I left behind no trace,
Remembering none.
I dreamed a dream
