Thus Owls

Could I But Dream That Dream Once More

Lyricist:Excerpts from the novel
Composer:Erika Angell

'Genji Monogataria' by Murasaki Shikibu.
English translation by Vera Eicholz-Rhode.

Could I but dream that dream once more.
Oh, since for the first time Iʼve had this desire.
My eyelids have not closed one single time in my sleep.

The old pillow and the old quilt,
with whom does he want to share them now?
Dust shall cover this bed.
ʻCause I can not stand it any longer,
to wipe off the nightly dew of my tears from it.
