¶Lyrics / Text

Brighter than the rays of morning That in eastern climes arise, All they shine upon, adorning, Are her laughter loving eyes. Joyous sounds from summer bowers When the birds at eve rejoice, Breezes sighing through the flowers Are all echoed by her voice. Brighter than the rays of morning That in eastern climes arise, All they shine upon adorning Are her laughter loving eyes. Heaven bless her, and defend her From all danger here below, Joy and happiness attend her, Such as Angels only know. Fairer than the lily bending O’er the stream with bashful grace, Bathed in dew from Heaven descending Is her beaming fairy face. Softer than the bloom of roses, Trembling in the morning air; Weeping as the daylight closes Is her cheek of beauty rare.
