When in cavernous grounds you seek asleep... Op. 24

When in cavernous grounds you seek asleep,
Think of those who in their slumbers deep,
Once went ahead with their dreamy drear,
And ventured deeper and deeper, without our fear.
O' Think of me when laying down, and think of her,
Who once like statue stood in her unshown bliss,
Right where you now bless your pillows with a kiss,
And she too there, thought of those who had stood before.
O' Ye, who in these grounds' cavernous deeps,
Once more make space for your pillow's rest,
And sighing lay aside all your burdens blest,
O' Think before you dream, ye slumberous sleeps.
