¶Liedtext

Softly come! thou evening gale, Sweet as wind from Yemen’s vale! Sweet from rose and myrtle flower, From olive grove and citron bower, Where clustered bells in beauty bloom, Where passion-flowers shine mid the gloom, Where by the nectar scented rose, With golden fruit, the orange glows. Bear upon thy breath, oh! gale, To my love the charmèd tale Spoken by each leaf and flower, With words that love has made their dower. Had I but viewless wings like thine, Soon would I seek this love of mine; I’d pass each bar with yon moonbeams And whisper softly where she dreams!
