The speaker recalls dreaming of love that would never die and a forgiving God when they were young and hopeful. They dreamed without fear and wasted neither dreams nor pleasures. However, tigers now come at night to destroy one's hopes and turn dreams to shame. The speaker slept by someone's side who filled their days with wonder, but that person was gone when autumn came. Still, the speaker dreams that person will return and they will live their lives together. But some dreams cannot be realized. The speaker's life has become very different and difficult compared to the dream they once had.
