The sorcerer sang the spring to sleep
In his shaggy arms, with weird refrain.
Children remembered the dreams they had seen
And quietly went to sleep again. 
Mother caressed and blessed her girl
With a weary and trembling hand.
The sunset shone red, and a tear rolled down
And fell to the earth in a distant land. 
"Mother, beautiful Mother, you must not cry.
We shall dream of the bird with the golden wing;
all night she was singing to me from the mast, 
When the ship sailed away to look for the spring. 
It sailed and rolled, it sailed and rolled, 
And the sailor wept, and he would not end. 
Mother, he left his friend behind. 
Have you also a sorrowful friend?" --

--"Dearest girl, do not worry, go back to sleep, 
Tonight a different dream you will see. 
You will never dream the same again:
The same dream ever comes to me."
