SUMMER NIGHT.
In the lovely summer night,
Softest music breathes around me,
Softest memories have bound me,
In the lovely summer night.
Softest music breathes around me,
Softest memories have bound me,
In the lovely summer night.
A Star doth send his light,—
A blazing diamond, pearl beset,
The brightest where the bright are met,
In the lovely summer night.
A blazing diamond, pearl beset,
The brightest where the bright are met,
In the lovely summer night.
In the lovely summer night,—
Walking with beloved shadows
O'er the star-lit heaths and meadows
In the lovely summer night.
Walking with beloved shadows
O'er the star-lit heaths and meadows
In the lovely summer night.
227
In the lovely summer night,
Sharp-edged Sorrow waits to seize me;
Death, from sorrow to release me
In the lovely summer night.
Sharp-edged Sorrow waits to seize me;
Death, from sorrow to release me
In the lovely summer night.
