Beneath this tree,
I slept, I wept
Beneath this tree,
I slept
While time was stealing
hours away
Beneath this tree,
I slept
I dreamed a dream
beneath this tree
An image through
the mist
A ghostly vapor
in the night
A vision softly
kissed
The love I mourned
had since returned
A spark turned into
flame
The joyful surge
I felt within
Held happiness to
blame
But when I wrapped
my arms around
The love I called
my own
It disappeared within
the mist
My happiness was
gone
Beneath this tree,
I wept, I slept
Beneath this tree
I wept
While time was stealing
hours away
Beneath this tree
I wept
