In tremor, ere the morning With Orient light is grey, I tarried at the window And looked for coming day. Full in the glow of noontide I shed a bitter tear, And to my fond heart whispered, “My love will soon be here.” The night, the night is o’er me Who gleams I shun in dread; The day has now departed – My dream of joy is fled.
