Seven favourite songs (1)/See the moon o’er cloudless Jura

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.
