Come, my dear one, share my gladness,
Let my love dispel thy sadness,
Into night away;
Waiting by thy lattice sighing,
While the silver moon is dying,
Here, I sing my lay.

Come, my dear one, hast thou sorrow,
Then thy heart shall gladness borrow,
From my heart so gay,
For the joy of love's dear greeting,
Bringeth rapture never fleeting,
Turneth night to day.
