Good Night!
The sun has dipped his golden rim
Beyond the western sea;
The soft winds sings its evening hymn
Unto the drowsy lea;
The wild waves' surging murmurs creep
Along the lonely sand;
The kiss of twilight lulls to sleep
The eyelids of the land.
Good night, my love, good night!
Beyond the western sea;
The soft winds sings its evening hymn
Unto the drowsy lea;
The wild waves' surging murmurs creep
Along the lonely sand;
The kiss of twilight lulls to sleep
The eyelids of the land.
Good night, my love, good night!
Mysterious whispers, soft and low,
Steal through the rustling leaves;
The dusky bat flits to and fro
About the fading eves;
Yet daylight waits, to see thee close
Those eyes divinely bright;
For, whilst they shine, full well she knows
It cannot yet be night.
Good night, my love, good night!
Steal through the rustling leaves;
The dusky bat flits to and fro
About the fading eves;
Yet daylight waits, to see thee close
Those eyes divinely bright;
For, whilst they shine, full well she knows
It cannot yet be night.
Good night, my love, good night!
