The dawn comes lightly

The dawn comes lightly as a dancing girl,

The dew-drops glisten, ev'ry one a pearl;

And lo! the happy birds announce the day,

Beloved, listen.

To us who lay and watched the ev'ning star

Sink in the ocean restless there afar,

To us who love, is born another day

For love and love's devotion.

The dawn comes lightly as a dancing girl,

The dew drops glisten, ev'ry one a pearl,

And lo! the happy birds announce the day,

Beloved, listen.
