Awake! awake! and hearken to the breeze That whispers through the trees, Awake[,] my heart, awake! The dew upon the lawn Is gleaming in the dawn, And day at last is born, Awake! awake! Awake! awake! and wander 'mid the flow'rs, In leafy sunny bow'rs, Awake, my heart, awake! For all the world is gay, And ev'ry voice doth say, 'Tis summertime today! Awake! awake!

Language: English
Sweet is the golden sunshine, The light on sea and land; Sweet are the birds that carol Around on ev'ry hand; The little winds that kiss the hills, And shady woods and laughing rills, And roses, daisies, daffodils How sweet! Sweet is the restless ocean That plays upon the shore; Sweet is the happy river Flowing forevermore; And ev'ry path I singing rove, The garden, meadow, and the grove, And sweet is Life and sweet is Love How sweet!

Language: English
Goodnight, fair rose, goodnight! The sun is in the west, The world must go to rest, And thou must fold thy petals bright, Goodnight! goodnight! Goodbye[,] glad bird, goodbye! For to thy woodland home, Thou in the dusk must roam, The stars are waking in the sky, Goodbye, goodbye! Goodnight, sweet day, goodnight! The weary eyes must close, The weary heart, the rose, And dream of thee, thy love, thy light, Goodnight, goodnight!

Language: English
O lovely night! Thou sweet and gentle maiden, Binding the world with dreams so silently, Thy voice is soft, thy breath is heavy laden With garden scents and mem'ries of the sea; Come not with tears, but charm them into flight, O lovely night! O lovely sleep! Thou angel bright and tender, Who with thy magic ev'ry heart dost own, Lo! all the world in passionless surrender, Bows to thy will and worships at thy throne; Give thou repose to darkened land and deep, O lovely sleep!
