Oft in the Stilly Night

Lyrics

Oft, in the stilly night Ere slumber's chain has bound me Fond memory brings the light Of other days around me; The smiles, the tears The childhood years The words of love then spoken; The eyes that shone Now dimm'd and gone The cheerful hearts now broken! Thus, in the stilly night Ere slumber's chain hath bound me Sad memory brings the light Of other days around me Oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh When I remember all The friends, so link'd together That I've seen around me fall Like leaves in wintry weather; I feel like one Who treads alone Some banquet-hall deserted Whose lights have fled Whose garlands dead And all but she departed! Thus, in the stilly night Ere slumber's chains have bound me Sad memory brings the light Of other days around me Oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Thus, in the stilly night Ere slumber's chain hath bound me Fond memory brings the light Of other days around me Oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh
