A single star in the rosy sky

A single star in the rosy sky:

The convent bell is ringing:

Hark! the merry sea-nymphs cry,

The white spray lightly flinging:

See it hang on their locks,

As they dance o'er the rocks,

Singing so airily!

Hist! their music dies away

Into a low lullaby

Faintly floating o'er the sea:

Lullaby, sweet lullaby:

Come soft slumber dreamily:

Lulla, lulla, lullaby!
