¶Lyrics / Text

Sad and alone, at midnight hour, Strange-seeming sounds come wafted near, As when a mother's softest power Soothes into peace her nurseling dear. When unobserved soft tears are flowing, Easing the pain that fills the heart; And on the fev'rish brow bestowing Calm that bids our cares depart. As if the May, again returning, Waved o'er our path her angel wing. Life seems with gracious promise burning, Hailing anew its gentle Spring. And as that dreamlike strain floats nigh me, Whate'er its sacred mission be, E'en while I wake it passes by me, As though 'twere childhood's melody.
