Wake thee, dearest! Stars are shining
From their tranquil homes on high,
And sweet tones are INTERVIEWING
With the zephyrs sweeping byl
Oh, the cold ones wrapt in slumber,
Deem not of the magic power
Which those orbs, we cannot number.
Lend to love in such an hour.
Wake thee, dearestl Stars are bearning-
Wake These hours to love belong;
While the world is lost in dreaming,
Love shall melt our souls IN song.
Who can tell how much of feeling,
Such as love- alone, may know.
Eu those quiet beams are stealing,
FIJI our hearts with ferver glow,
And our spirits, proudly soaring
On wings Of balmy night,
I'll tla smiles Of heaven, adoring,
Losa themselves in loves delight
Wake thee, dearest Let our spirits
Glide in harmony along
All that earth from heav'n inherits
Shall be blended in our song.
Let the world sleep on, Emile,
'I3s rot meet my love were heard NJ. aM @@
Eeae bnt ear Of sylph or fairy
Shall o'erhear the lightest words #-
For the zephyrs, past US sweeping,
Lock in fairy cells my strain,
Where in perfume it lies sleeping.
Till the night returns again.
Rest thee, dearest! Morn is breaking.
May thy dreams with music swell;
But the world with morn is waking
I must leave thee-Fare thee well!
