THE DAYLIGHT IS GONE
Come, dearest, the daylight is gone,
And the stars are unveiling to thee,
Come, wander my loved one, alone,
If alone thou canst call it with me.
Let us go where the wild flowers bloom,
Amid the soft dews of the night,
Where the orange dispells its perfume,
And the rose speaks of love and of life.
Come, dearest, I must so soon leave thee,
To wander mid strangers alone,
Yfuen at eve thy sweet smiles can not gre~t me,
Nor thy gentle voice at morn.
But, Oh, 'twill be sweet to remember,
Although l am far, far from thee,
That the hand of faith can't sever,
My lasting affections for thee.
