Dark in the moonlight, bough's sheädows plaÿ'd

Up on the window-glass that did keep

Lew vrom the wind, my true love asleep,

—in the night.

While in the grey-wall'd height o' the tow'r,

—in the night,

Sounded the midnight bell wi' the hour,

—in the night,

There lo! a bright-heäir'd angel that shed

Light vrom her white robe's zilvery thread,
