Last night as I was sleeping,
I dreamt—marvelous error!—that a spring was breakingout in my heart.
I said:
Along which secret aqueduct,
Oh water, are you coming to me,water of a new lifethat I have never drunk?
Last night as I was sleeping,
I dreamt—marvelous error!—that I had a beehivehere inside my heart.
And the golden beeswere making white combsand sweet honeyfrom my old failures.
Last night as I was sleeping,
I dreamt—marvelous error!—that a fiery sun was givinglight inside my heart.
It was fiery because I feltwarmth as from a hearth,and sun because it gave lightand brought tears to my eyes.
Last night as I slept,
I dreamt—marvelous error!—that it was God I hadhere inside my heart.
