Who Sleeps In My Bed?

Who sleeps in my bed?
         It cannot be me,
for my dreams
         have never known
this ecstasy.

Who sings such valiant songs,
         that float over rooftops
to proclaim love everlasting?
         These sounds cannot be mine;
my voice cannot touch such joy
         overwhelming.

The sky must have fallen
         with the rain.
that river must have finally
         gone dry;
to sing such songs
         and dream such dreams
from such a malcontent
         as I.
