How sweet when the nightingale sings from
When the moon is half hid o'er the hill,
When nothing is heard but the whispers of love,
And the sound of the far distant rill,
How sweet with the friend of our bosom to stray,
'Midst scenes such as these to commune,
And quitting the glare and bustle of day,
Mend the heart, and the passions attune.
May this oft be our lot, O wisdom divine,
Shall lead us a flowery way:
So our morning of life shall most brilliantly shine
And our evening be cloudless as day.
When the moon is half hid o'er the hill,
When nothing is heard but the whispers of love,
And the sound of the far distant rill,
How sweet with the friend of our bosom to stray,
'Midst scenes such as these to commune,
And quitting the glare and bustle of day,
Mend the heart, and the passions attune.
May this oft be our lot, O wisdom divine,
Shall lead us a flowery way:
So our morning of life shall most brilliantly shine
And our evening be cloudless as day.

How Sweet When The Nightingale Sings From
When The Moon Is Half Hid O'er The Hill,
When Nothing Is Heard But The Whispers Of Love,
And The Sound Of The Far Distant Rill,
How Sweet With The Friend Of Our Bosom To Stray,
'Midst Scenes Such As These To Commune,
And Quitting The Glare And Bustle Of Day,
Mend The Heart, And The Passions Attune.
May This Oft Be Our Lot, O Wisdom Divine,
Shall Lead Us A Flowery Way:
