Moon-Light Dreams.
Oh to view the azure sky
Bedecked with diamonds bright,
To catch the moon-beams as they fly
On the rapid wings of night:
Bedecked with diamonds bright,
To catch the moon-beams as they fly
On the rapid wings of night:
To list the merry cricket's song
In the corner near at hand.
And watch the meteors race along
The azure heaven land:
In the corner near at hand.
And watch the meteors race along
The azure heaven land:
To see the little stars to swing
In orbits over head,
Or list' the murm'ing winds that sing
To winters silent tread.
In orbits over head,
Or list' the murm'ing winds that sing
To winters silent tread.
It makes the conscious spirit say,
“For sure there is a God,”
And all of nature gives assent,
And heaven seems to nod.
“For sure there is a God,”
And all of nature gives assent,
And heaven seems to nod.
Ah sweet influence, inmost friend!
Lift high our inmost thought,
That always to some Godly end,
Be ev'ry action wrought.
Lift high our inmost thought,
That always to some Godly end,
Be ev'ry action wrought.
