I think on thee in the night
 (Sung text for setting by M. Herbert)
 See original
Language: English 
I think on thee in the night,
  When all beside is still,
And the moon comes out, with her pale, sad light,
  To sit on the lonely hill;
When the stars are all like dreams,
  And the breezes all like sighs,
And there comes a voice from the far-off streams
  Like thy spirit's low replies.

 ...

Composition:

    Set to music by Muriel Emily Herbert (1897 - 1984), "I think on thee in the night", stanza 1 [ voice and piano ], confirmed with a CD booklet (CKD 335)
