¶Lyrics / Text

The Silver Queen, whose cheerful ray Illumes the stream with seeming day, Can warm this wakeful, anxious breast To meet my love, when others rest. By yon pale moon the signal soon No more shall sound so drearily; ’Ere night is done, ’ere morning sun, The shell will then sound cheerily! When the `ire`ly lights his cold pale lamp, And the storm bird sleeps on the sedgy swamp; When the moonbeams o’er the waters play, Then, then will our Tribe no longer stay!
