Dancing in a rose meadow

In a state of half wakefulness, 

I lay dreaming of you, 

Dancing in a rose meadow

Amidst pervading perfume, 

You saw me watching and smiled my way. 

I joined you in that rose meadow

And we danced together, 

Suddenly, you vanished into thin air, 

And a thousand thorns pricked me.
