I dreamed a dreadful dream
Too terrible to tell
I dreamed that you and I
Together were in hell
I dreamed in all eternity
We two together were
Condemned each other's face
And limbs in hate and rage to tear I dreamed your kisses keen
Bit my flesh through and through I tasted the salt taste
Of blood as I kissed you
I dreamed your soft warm limbs Burnt with hell's furious fire
And demons laughed and said This is the end of your desire
That laugh you never saw That laugh you never heard its tone
Thy very presence mattens me Yet leave me not alone
Thinks thou thy weep with many tears Their brows on it with pain
Are no far worse than that their laugh
Their laughter's hollow and insane
Almost too horrible to hear Too terrible to tell
The song about the unwept tear And the laughter heard in hell
The song about the unwept tear And the laughter heard in hell
The song about the unwept tear And the laughter heard in hell
