“
Come o'er the moonlit sea,The waves are brightly glowing.
— Charles Jefferys
Come o'er the moonlit sea,The waves are brightly glowing.
The morn was fair, the skies were clear,No breath came o'er the sea.
Meek and lowly, pure and holy,Chief among the "blessed three."
Come, wander with me, for the moonbeams are brightOn river and forest, o'er mountain and lea.
A word in season spokenMay calm the troubled breast.
The bud is on the bough again,The leaf is on the tree.
I have heard the mavis singingTo the rose just newly born.
We have lived and loved togetherAnd wept each other's tears.
