Oriental Serenade
 (Sung text for setting by M. Lang)
 Matches base text
Language: English 
The moon, and the stars are none so shy as thou;
Cold is thy heart, O Love, for thou heedest not my cry!
Sadly I want for a sight of thee, 
Beneath thy lattice, lone and drear.
Pity is a stranger to thy breast;
Love kindles anger there;
Despair, a smile: 
Cold is thy heart, O love, for thou heedest my cry.
Ah!

Composition:

    Set to music by Margaret Ruthven Lang (1867 - 1972), "Oriental Serenade", op. 8 no. 1 [ voice and piano ], from Three Songs of the East, no. 1, Schmidt
