O, Lovely Night

[Verse 1] O lovely night thou bringest rest To many a sad and toilworn breast O’er many an eye long used to weep Thou our’st the balm of gentle sleep I am not sad nor weep I now And yet I love thy sable brow I rest beneath thy starry dome And dream of home, and dream of home. [Verse 2] Tho’ rolling waves divide me now From scenes I lov’d long long ago I hear once more sweet voices ring With those dear songs I used to sing In fancy’s eye again I trace Each dearly lov’d familiar face Be ever thus while doom’d to roam My dream of home, my dream of home
