The moon will rise but all in vain For there's no use in shining While my lady sleeps The breeze will sing a sad refrain Because her heart is pining While my lay sleeps Starlight and moonlight And amorous melody wasted What can they mean when I'm yearning For kisses never tasted The night may hold a million dreams But when her eyes discover Just a lonely lover She will hurry on With a sigh to the dawn While the willow tree weeps And my lady sleeps
