Ten Favourite Songs/O, come to me when daylight sets

O, come to me when daylight sets.

O come to me when daylight sets,
 Sweet then come to me,
When smoothly go our gondolets,
 O'er the moonlight sea.
When mirth's awake and love begins,
 Beneath that glancing ray,
With sound of lutes and mandolins,
 To seal young hearts away.
O come to me when daylight sets. &c.

Oh! then's the hour for those who love,
 Sweet, like thee and me,
When all's so calm below, above,
 In heaven, and o'er the sea.
When maidens sing sweet barcaroles,
 And echo, sings again,
So sweet that all with ears, and souls,
 Should love and listen, then.
So come to me when daylight sets. &c.
