My darling, we sat together

My darling, we sat together,

Comfortably in the light little boat;

The night was still, and we floated

on the broad watery road.

The ghostly island, the lovely one,

lay duskily in the moonlight;

there rang out lovely tones,

there the dancing mists waved.

The sounds there grew lovelier and lovelier,

and the dance surged back and forth;

but we floated past,

Comfortless on the wide sea.
