Soft dying on the breezy swell,
That fans the shades of Arundel.


SEE THE MOON O’ER CLOUDLESS JURA.

See the moon o’er cloudless Jura
Shining in the lake below;
See the distant mountain towering
Like a pyramid of snow.
Scenes of grandeur—scenes of childhood—
Scenes so dear to love aud me!
Let us rove by bower and wildwood;
All is lovelier when with thee.

On Leman’s breast the winds are sighing,
All is silent in the grove,
And the flowers with dew drops glistening,
Sparkle like the eye of love.
Night so calm, so clear and cloudless;
Blessed night to love and me!
Let us rove by bower and fountain,
All is lovelier when with thee.
