11 The keen stars were twinklingAs the moon's soft splendor
22 And the fair moon was rising among them,O'er the faint, cold starlight of heaven
33 Dear Jane: Is thrown,
44 The guitar was tinkling,So thy voice most tender
55 But the notes were not sweet till you sung themTo the strings without soul has given
66 Again. Its own.
7 As the moon's soft splendor
8 O'er the faint cold starlight of heaven
9 Is thrown,
10 So your voice most tender
11 To the strings without soul had then given
12 Its own.

148 The stars will awaken,The stars will awaken,
159 Though the moon sleep a full hour later,Though the moon sleep a full hour later
1610 Tonight; Tonight:
1711 No leaf will be shakenNo leaf will be shaken
1812 Whilst the dews of your melody scatterWhilst the dews of thy melody scatter
1913 Delight. Delight.
2014 Though the sound overpowers,
2115 Sing again, with your dear voice revealingThough the sound overpowers,
2216 A toneSing again, with thy sweet voice revealing
2317 Of some world far from ours A tone
2418 Where music and moonlight and feelingOf some world far from ours,
2519 Are one.Where music and moonlight and feeling
20 Are one.
