Unholy Dream (Abigor's Dark Vision)

In visions of the dark night I have dreamt of a joy departed But a waking dream of life and light Have left me broken hearted Have left me broken hearted Ah What is not a dream by day To him whose eyes are cast On things around him with a ray Turned back upon the past That unholy dream- that unholy dream While all the world were chiding Hath cheered me as a lovely beam A lonely spirit guiding A lonely spirit Guiding What through that light, through storm and night, So trembled from afar What could there be more purely bright In Truth's day star
