In each other's arms we lay,
In each other's arms we slumbered;
And like waves, unknown, unnumbered
Visions rose, and died away.
And at last I woke and wept,
Wept till I was worn and breathless;
Wept because I had been faithless—
I had sinned the while we slept.
For I dreamt of woods astir,
Moonlit seas and great expanses,
Dreamt of music and romances—
And my dreams were not of her.
