Sleepless, through an endless night,
My mind will wander through the dawn
So red and pink, the blazing sight
Will stay the heart from beating on.

My mind will wander through the dawn,
And dreams of wonders, as they were,
Will stay the heart from beating on,
And restless soul and body stir.

And dreams of wonders, as they were,
This sleepy brain, these eyes contest,
And restless soul and body stir,
That is taken amidst the rest.

This sleepy brain, these eyes contest
The wandering of a raving man
That is taken amidst the rest,
Whose soul is blood and pale and wan.

The wandering of a raving man,
So red and pink, the blazing sight,
Whose soul is blood and pale and wan,
Sleepless, through an endless night.
