The moon is sinking fast my love,
The stars now shine less bright
With a heavy heart must I depart,
Good night, my love, good night.

Heav'n guard thee through the tardy hours,
And speed the morning's flight.
I'll soon return to my heart's sojourn,
Good night, my love, good night.

The moon has sunk at last, my love,
The stars will hold their light
But e'en in my dreams thine eyes shall beam,
Good night, my love, good night.
