Oh mystic lover,
Why do you haunt my dreams so?
Thy sweet caress
Hidden in the shadow.
Oh mystic lover,
Why do you come
And share my dreams?
Your eyes burning bright
As you consume my love.
Oh mystic lover
What do you take?
Your visits exhaust me
Yet I do not wake.
Oh mystic lover
What can I do?
Arms about me
Is your love still true?
Oh mystic lover
So long ago
Once we were lovers
In those misty ages
Oh mystic lover
My heart still bursts
From that day in spring
And the angel of death.
Oh mystic lover
So long has it been
The years draw longer
So why do you still come
And haunt my dreams?
