Songs We Like to Sing
Published 1912
All through the night!
Guardian angles God will lend thee,
All through the night!
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and vale in slumber steeping,
Love alone his watch is keeping,
All through the night!
Though I roam, a minstrel lonely,
All through the night!
My true harp shall prase the only,
All through the night!
Love's youn dream, alas! is over
Yet my strains of love shall hover
Near the presence of my lover,
All through the night!
Hark! a solemn bell is ringing
Clear, through the night!
Thou, my love, art heav'n-ward winging,
Home through the night!
Earthly dust from off thee shaken,
Soul immortal thou shalt waken,
With thy last dim journey taken,
Home through the night!
