242
OH! IT WAS IN THE MOONLIGHT.
Oh! it was in the moonlight
We two walk'd forth alone;
The silvery softness woo'd us
With magic of its own!
The Moon, as if she lov'd us,
Seem'd with us gliding on;
And blended in her holy light
Our shadows into one.
We two walk'd forth alone;
The silvery softness woo'd us
With magic of its own!
The Moon, as if she lov'd us,
Seem'd with us gliding on;
And blended in her holy light
Our shadows into one.
Our shadows into one, my dear,
As if the heavens above
Beheld our hearts and knew, though two,
They were made one by love!
The music of the silvery night
Enchanted all our way:
The very earth seem'd dress'd in white,
As for our bridal day!
As if the heavens above
Beheld our hearts and knew, though two,
They were made one by love!
The music of the silvery night
Enchanted all our way:
The very earth seem'd dress'd in white,
As for our bridal day!

As for our bridal day, my love,
The earth this gladness bore;
For us the graceful trees and flowers
Their whitest favours wore!
And like an augury of love
To last till life had gone,
Our shadows in the Moon's sweet light,
Our hearts and souls seem'd one.
The earth this gladness bore;
For us the graceful trees and flowers
Their whitest favours wore!
And like an augury of love
To last till life had gone,
Our shadows in the Moon's sweet light,
Our hearts and souls seem'd one.
