OVER THE HILLS

Over the hills and the valleys of dreaming
  Slowly I take my way.
Life is the night with its dream-visions teeming,
  Death is the waking at day.

Down thro' the dales and the bowers of loving,
  Singing, I roam afar.
Daytime or night-time, I constantly roving,—
  Dearest one, thou art my star.
