1 Fair Luna forth is shedding
Her beams upon the sea,
And spreading silv'ry lustre
O'er mountain, grove, and lea;
Then, come, let us be straying,
While all around is bright,
And breathe out notes of pleasure,
To hail the Queen of night.
Fair Luna forth is shedding
Her beams upon the sea,
And spreading silv'ry lustre
O'er mountain, grove, and lea.
2 The nightingale is singing
Her plaintive evening song,
Whose warblings now come winging
The gentle breeze along;
The balmy air is laden
With perfume from the brier,
Then with such charms inviting,
We'll tune the golden lyre.
Fair Luna forth is shedding
Her beams upon the sea,
And spreading silv'ry lustre
O'er mountain, grove, and lea.
