I dream no roses, gems, or sunshine
Mansions or purses fine
Envisage no wine or ivory seat
Diamond bracelet or feat
Snags may have ruined even my last hope
By grace I tread up the slope
To escape the vale I was pining in
I curb despair true love to win
Now love fulfills all vain reveries
Hope buoyant all gloom and wretchedness buries
Harmonizes dissonance, tranquilizes firm strife
Aperitif of life
Love grants you the true faith to dream
Lifts your soul up high by a sanguine beam
Set on target, persevered through the night
Endured till daybreak, outlook is bright
Are you despondent, daydreaming vainly
Still bearing anguish mainly?
Or do you feel fainthearted, weak and can't go on
Wondering if hope will ever dawn?
Have you heard, if you seek, shall find?
Once love felt, all despair is cast behind
Now love fulfills all vain reveries
All gloom buries, soul set on high
Pressed towards the target persevered through the night
Endured till daybreak, outlook is bright
