LINES.
H! when on yonder moon I gaze,
And watch how bright her watery rays,
On yon dark hills serenely rest,
And shine on sleeping ocean's breast.
I love to think her silver beam
Now falls on many a well-known scene,
And gilds with light as soft and clear,
The land of all to me most dear.
And watch how bright her watery rays,
On yon dark hills serenely rest,
And shine on sleeping ocean's breast.
I love to think her silver beam
Now falls on many a well-known scene,
And gilds with light as soft and clear,
The land of all to me most dear.
And when I glance on high and feel,
Perchance of those I love so well,
Some kindred eve is gazing now
On yon fair planet's glittering brow;
The cheering beam of silver light
That trembles o'er the gloom of night,
In softening accents seems to say,
The friend I think on thinks of me!
Perchance of those I love so well,
Some kindred eve is gazing now
On yon fair planet's glittering brow;
The cheering beam of silver light
That trembles o'er the gloom of night,
In softening accents seems to say,
The friend I think on thinks of me!
