Is not so sweet and white

And what if

You went to heaven
And there plucked a strange and beautiful flower
And what if

You had that flower in you hand
Ah, what then?”

Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me.”

Some to misery are born.
Every morn, and every night,
Some are born to sweet delight.
Some are born to sweet delight.
Some are born to endless night.”
