¶Lyrics / Text

Now sparkling and bright in its silvery light Is the spray our pathway beaming, As forth we go in the moonlight glow, Which a fairy chose to dream in. ''Then away, pull away, lads, row with a will,'' ''While the moon is beaming brightly above us;'' ''We will dash thro’ the spray in the sparkling ray,'' ''And sing of those who love us.'' The stars full of light now are glowing bright, And they deck the heavens above us, While soft they shine from the limpid brine, And the strain they chant is “Love us.” O, list to the bells from the distant hills, Their vespers sweetly chiming; We’ll return their song, as we glide along, While the moon is softly shining. Words arr. and partly written by H. R. P.
