Dream Variation + 

To fling my arms wide + 

In some place of the sun, + 

To whirl and to dance + 

Till the white day is done. + 

Then rest at cool evening + 

Beneath a tall tree + 

While night comes on gently, + 

Dark like me⁠— + 

That is my dream! + 

To fling my arms wide + 

In the face of the sun, + 

Dance! whirl! whirl! + 

Till the quick day is done. + 

Rest at pale evening.⁠ ⁠… + 

A tall, slim tree.⁠ ⁠… + 

Night coming tenderly + 

Black like me. + 
