The Book of Scottish Song/See the Moon

See the Moon.

[Written by the late Daniel Weir of Greenock. Adapted to the celebrated air of "Rousseau's Dream."]

See the moon o'er cloudless Jura
Shining in the lake below;
See the distant mountain towering
Like a pyramid of snow.
Scenes of grandeur—scenes of childhood—
Scenes so dear to love and me!
Let us roam by bower and wildwood,
All is lovelier when with thee.

On Leman's breast the winds are sighing,
All is silent in the grove,
And the flowers with dew-drops glistening
Sparkle like the eye of love.
Night so calm, so clear, so cloudless;
Blessed night to love and me!
Let us roam by bower and fountain,
All is lovelier when with thee.
