Through the still dusk hear the sailors song.
Night to the weary rest from toll is bringing
Wilt thou be longf
Wilt thou be longS The darkness gathers fast.
The daisies fold their fringes on the lea.
| Time Is so heeting, and youth will not last
Oh, come TO mel
| in the clear west a silver star Is burning,
| But sad misgivings all my bosom throng.
| With anxious heart watch for thy returning
Wilt thou be long9
