I Dream of You, to Wake (mezzo-soprano and piano) is an art song adaption of the sonnet by Christina Rossetti (1830-1894). The poem comes from her sonnet of sonnets - Monna Innominata (unknown lady) - in which she laments her lack of religious compatibility with the man she loves.
With a duration of 4'00 - this song is perfect for the adept singer, and would be ideal for a solo and ensemble contest or college recital.

Text:
I dream of you to wake: would that I might
Dream of you and not wake but slumber on.
In happy dreams I hold you full in night.
I blush again who waking look so wan;
Brighter than sunniest day that ever shone,
In happy dreams your smile makes day of night.
Thus only in a dream we are at one,
Thus only in a dream we give and take
The faith that maketh rich who take or give;
If thus to sleep is sweeter than to wake,
To die were surely sweeter than to live,
Though there be nothing new beneath the sun.
I Dream of You, to Wake (Mezzo-Soprano and Piano)
