¶Lyrics / Text

The night is calm and cloudless, And still as still can be, And the stars come out to listen To the music of the sea; They gather, and gather, and gather, Until they crowd the sky, And listen, in breathless silence, To the solemn Litany. It begins in rocky caverns, As a voice that chants alone To the pedals of the organ In monotonous undertone; And anon from shelving beaches, And shallow sands beyond, In snow-white robes uprising, The ghostly choirs respond: Christe eleison. And sadly, and unceasing, The mournful voice runs on, And the snow-white choirs still answer: Christe eleison.
