Seven of the most popular songs/The banks of the blue Mozelle

The Banks of the Blue Mozelle.

When the glow-worms glide the elfin flower,
That clings round my ruined shrine;
When first we met, when first we lov'd,
And I confessed thee mine;
'Tis there I fly to meet thee still
At the sound of the Vesper Bell,
In the starry light of a summer's night,
On the Banks of the blue Mozelle
On the Banks of the blue Mozelle.

If the cares of life should shade thy brow,
Yes, yes in our native bowers,
My lute and harp might best accord,
To tell of happier hours.
'Tis there I'd soothe thy grief to rest,
Each sigh of sorrow quell,
In a starry light of a summer's night,
On the Banks of the blue Mozelle,
On the Banks of the blue Mozelle.
