No. 5: Now Stars Above the Forest Glimmer
Picorin
MIDI File 2' 07"
PICORIN: | Now stars above the forest glimmer, | |||
And earth lies dreaming underneath their light, | ||||
Your starry eyes grow dim and dimmer, | ||||
'Tis time to say, "good-night, good-night!" | ||||
Oh, bird-song through the stillness throbbing, And brooklet sobbing, |
||||
Down the woodland way, Wake not my love, till dawn of day, |
||||
My love that in my keeping, Away from life lies softly sleeping! |
||||
When night has drawn her veil above you, | ||||
And golden dust of sleep has shut your eyes, | ||||
Then I may dare to say "I love you," | ||||
When only night replies. | ||||
Then dreams of happy love deceive me, To leave me |
||||
When the dawn is grey, For all my vision fade away, |
||||
And you seem far above me. I dare not ask, I dare not hope that you, Mirette, may love me! |
