Stars of the summer night,

Far, far in your azure

deeps;

Hide, hide your golden light,

She sleeps, my lady sleeps.

Moon of the summer night,

Far, down yon western steeps,

Sink, sink in silver light,

She sleeps, my lady sleeps, my lady sleeps.

SECOND VERSE.

Wind of the summer night,

Where yonder woodbine creeps,

Fold, fold thy pinions light,

She sleeps, my lady sleeps.

Dreams of the summer night,

Tell her, her lover keeps watch,

While in slumbers bright

She sleeps, my lady sleeps.
