Serenade
Language: English
Oh come, my beloved, day is waning, Stars peeping out above, Night winds are sighing and crying, My heart is dying, Faint with unquenched fires of love. Beloved, I'm waiting, night is falling, Gleams now the silver moon, My soul is burning and yearning For your returning; Come, beloved, oh, come soon !
