11When stars are in the quiet skies, When stars are in the quiet skies,
22Then most I long for thee; Then most I pine for thee;
33O bend on me then thy tender eyes Bend on me then thy tender eyes
44As stars look down upon the peaceful sea. As stars look on the sea.
55For thoughts, like waves that glide by night, For thoughts, like waves that glide by night,
66Are stillest when they shine; Are stillest when they shine;
77All my love lies hush'd in light Mine earthly love lies hush'd in light
88Beneath the heaven of thine. Beneath the heaven of thine.

1010There is an hour when holy dreams There is an hour when angels
1111Through slumber fairest glide; Keep familiar watch o'er men,
1212And in that mystic hour it seems When coarser souls are wrapp'd in sleep --
1313Thou shouldst be ever, ever at my side. Sweet spirit, meet me then!
1414The thoughts of thee too sacred are There is an hour when holy dreams
1515For daylight's common beam: Through slumber fairest glide;
1616I can but know thee as my star, And in that mystic hour it seems
1717My guiding star, my angel and my dream.Thou shouldst be by my side.

19My thoughts of thee too sacred are
20For daylight's common beam:
21I can but know thee as my star,
22My angel and my dream;
23When stars are in the quiet skies,
24Then most I pine for thee;
25Bend on me then thy tender eyes,
26As stars look on the sea!
