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

814The stars will awaken, The stars will awaken,
915Though the moon sleep a full hour later Though the moon sleep a full hour later,
1016 Tonight: Tonight;
1117No leaf will be shaken No leaf will be shaken
1218Whilst the dews of thy melody scatter Whilst the dews of your melody scatter
1319 Delight. Delight.
1420 Though the sound overpowers,
1521Though the sound overpowers, Sing again, with your dear voice revealing
1622Sing again, with thy sweet voice revealing A tone
1723 A tone Of some world far from ours
1824Of some world far from ours, Where music and moonlight and feeling
1925Where music and moonlight and feeling Are one.
20 Are one.
