THE MOONLIT SEA.
SERENADE
John Rogers Thomas
1.
Oh come love with me
O'er the bright moonlit sea,
No longer delay love
I'm waiting for thee;
The winds are all hushed not a cloud's
in the sky,
And the moon in her beauty is beaming
on high,
I'll sing thee soft lays while I sit
by thy side;
As o'er the still waters we silently glide
CHORUS:
Then come love with me
O'er the bright moonlit sea,
No longer delay love
I'm waiting for thee.
2.
Come away love away
Oh why dost thou stay,
'Tis love's witching hour love
oh haste thee I pray,
Above and below all is calm
and serene,
It wants but thy presence to
perfect the scene,
My bosom is burning with
eager delight,
To gaze on thy beauty thou queen
of the night.
(CHORUS)
