¶Lyrics / Text

The moon is beaming o’er the lake, Come sail in our light canoe; Sweet sounds of music we’ll awake As we glide o’er the waters blue. In our light canoe, our light canoe, as we merrily row, Swift over the rippling silver tide, While free from care, our spirits are As away o’er the waters we merrily glide. The moon is beaming o’er the lake, Come sail in our light canoe; Sweet sounds of music we’ll awake As we glide o’er the waters blue. The vesper bells now softly peal, From out yonder lonely tower; Their tones now gently o’er us steal, Proclaiming the vesper hour. Sweet sounds now arise to the beautiful skies, Like one of earth’s sweetest melodies, Now sad, now sad, now gay, it floats away, On the soft balmy wings of the light summer breeze.
