EVENING SONG.
Whisper low, whisper low!
Lovers now should come and go.
When the Evening star is nearest
Comes the kiss that's last and dearest:
Hush! The over-jealous moon
Will o'ertake us soon.
Lovers now should come and go.

Comes the kiss that's last and dearest:
Hush! The over-jealous moon
Will o'ertake us soon.
Whisper soft, whisper soft!
Like the air that stirs aloft.
Let thy murmuring softer be
Than the sighing of the tree.
Lovers now should come and go,
Gentlier than the water's flow.
Like the air that stirs aloft.
Let thy murmuring softer be
Than the sighing of the tree.
Lovers now should come and go,
Gentlier than the water's flow.
Farewell! Farewell!
They who kiss must never tell.
In thine eyes I see a light
Breaks the darkness of the night:
Ah!—my lip is nearest thine;
Now is Life divine!
They who kiss must never tell.
In thine eyes I see a light
Breaks the darkness of the night:
Ah!—my lip is nearest thine;
Now is Life divine!
