I am sleeping
Do not wake me
If you are the world that
Must hurt and hate me,
Destroy my life
But do not wake me
Keep them silent
Whatever you do
For in my sleep life is better than you
I am dreaming
Do not rouse me
If you are the one that claims
To love me,
Caress my cheek
But do not rouse me
Keep it gentle
No matter what you do
Influence my dreams
But don't brake through
For a dream is a better lover than you
I am dead
Do not raise me
If you are the ones that
Loved me truely
Dream of me often
But let me rest
Do not raise me
Please keep quiet
Let me be,
For Death, it seems,
An even better lover than Dream,
Has taken me to sanctuary...
And I will not leave
Not even for you
