Robert Burns - I Dream`d I Lay
Work rating: Low

I dream`d I lay where flowers were springing
Gaily in the sunny beam;
List`ning to the wild birds singing,
By a falling crystal stream:
Straight the sky grew black and daring;
Thro` the woods the whirlwinds rave;
Tress with aged arms were warring,
O`er the swelling drumlie wave.

Such was my life`s deceitful morning,
Such the pleasures I enjoyed:
But lang or noon, loud tempests storming
A` my flowery bliss destroy`d.
Tho` fickle fortune has deceiv`d me-
She promis`d fair, and perform`d but ill,
Of mony a joy and hope bereav`d me-
I bear a heart shall support me still.
