THE DREAM
Austrian Folk

The mill-er's maid sat down to spin.
A-cross the flor the moon shone in;
And in the qui-et beam
she dreamed a won-drous dream

With-in that ring of mag-ic light
ap-peared a fair and no-ble knight;
In plume and dou-blet gay
He stood in fine ar-ray.

Now tell me, pray, what make you there?
I spin a gar-ment rich and rare;
A robe of pat-tern old,
all bright with pearls and gold

The win-ter eve passed cold and still
The moon had left the si-lent mill
The no-ble knight was gone;
Yet still the maid dreamed on.
