The setting sun with crimson beam
Now gilds the twilight sky;
And evening comes with sportive mien,
And cares of daylight fly;
Then deck the board with flow'rs, and fill
My glass with racy wine;
And let those snowy arms, my love,
Once more thy harp entwine.
Now gilds the twilight sky;
And evening comes with sportive mien,
And cares of daylight fly;
Then deck the board with flow'rs, and fill
My glass with racy wine;
And let those snowy arms, my love,
Once more thy harp entwine.
Oh! strike the harp, my dark hair'd love,
And swell that strain so dear;
Thine angel form shall charm mine eye,
Thy voice delight mine ear.
And swell that strain so dear;
Thine angel form shall charm mine eye,
Thy voice delight mine ear.
