"Broken Dreams"

Broken dreams lie scattered about me, 
Like pillows in my darksome bed;
I kiss each night my absent lover,
And lay to rest my hope so dead.

A memory not dared remembered
Of passion never quite forgot,
Is daylight waking's ceaseless sorrow,
Is nighttime dreaming's ev'ry plot.

Ah Death! 'tis now you seem the closest,
O boon companion, lifelong friend;
Bear to me thy darkened freedom;
Bring this madness to an end!
