I DREAMT I DWELT IN MARBLE HALLS,
WITH VASSALS AND SERFS AT MY SIDE.
AND OF ALL WHO ASSEMBLED WITHIN THOSE WALLS
THAT I WAS THE HOPE AND THE PRIDE.
I HAD RICHES TOO GREAT TO COUNT OF A HIGH ANCESTRAL NAME.
BUT I ALSO DREAMT, WHICH PLEASED ME MOST,
THAT YOU LOVED ME STILL THE SAME.
I DREAMT THAT SUITORS SOUGHT MY HAND,
THAT KNIGHTS UPON BENDED KNEE,
AND WITH VOWS NO MAIDEN HEART COULD WITHSTAND,
THEY PLEGED THEIR FAITH TO ME.
AND I DREAMT THAT ONE OF THAT NOBLE HOST
CAME FORTH MY HAND TO CLAIM.
BUT I ALSO DREAMT, WHICH CHARMED ME MOST,
THAT YOU LOVED ME STILL THE SAME
