Night of stars, and night of love,
Fall gently oer the waters,
Heavn around below, above,
No more well heed the shore!
Floating thus in silver light,
Sing on! oh earths fair daughters
Love had neer an hour so bright,
In fabled days of yore.
The cadencd oar will rhyme
To the measure we sing,
Till even charmed time,
Fold a moment his wing.
Wander on!
Till the dawn! ah!
Night of stars, and night of love,
Fall gently oer the waters,
Heaven around below, above,
No more well heed the shore.
Night of stars and of love,
Ah! gently fall oer the waters
Heaven around below, above!
Ah! ah!
