Starlight Love

L. Denni

One more day fades away,

Twilight comes on anew;

Fleeting hours, drooping flow'rs,

Song of the birds-and You!

Soft winds blow sweet and low,

Sighing from o'er the sea;

Starlight's here, with you, dear,

Nestling so close to me!

Stars shine high above

In this hour of love;

Here 'neath the starlight

I hear your voice a-whisp'ring,

Telling again that you love me!

Ev'ry little star

Shining from afar

Matches the lovelight

That in your eyes is beaming, -

My own, my Starlight Love!

April show'rs, Maytime flow'rs,

Glorious days of June;

Ev'ry day seems to say

Love shall unite us soon!

Heart to heart, ne'er to part,

Hasten that happy day!

How I long for that song, -

Love's old sweet song for aye!
