[Verse 1]
In the woods as I did walk
Dappled with the moon's beam
I did with a stranger talk
And his name was Dream
[Chorus]
There, when the dusk is falling
Silence broods so deep
Seems every wind that breathes
Blows from the deeps of sleep
[Verse 2]
Softly his brooch burned and shore
Hill and deep were in his eyes
One of his hands held mine, and one
The fruit that makes me wise
[Verse 3]
Wondrously strange was earth to see
Flowers white as milk did gleam
Spread to Heaven the Assyrian Tree
Spread over my head with Dream
[Chorus]
There, when the dusk is falling
Silence broods so deep
Seems every wind that breathes
Blows from the deeps of sleep
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
There, when the dusk is falling
Silence broods so deep
Seems every wind that breathes
Blows from the deeps of sleep
[Outro]
Dews were still betwixt us twain
Stars a trembling beauty shed
Yet, not a whisper comes again
Of the words The Stranger said
