When the shy star goes forth in heaven
All maidenly, disconsolate
Hear you amid the drowsy even
One who is singing by your gate
His song is softer than the dew
And he is come to visit you
His song is softer than the dew
And he is come to visit you
O bend no more in revery
When he at eventide is calling
Nor muse: Who may this singer be
Whose song about my heart is falling?
His song is softer than the dew
And he is come to visit you
His song is softer than the dew
And he is come to visit you
Leave dreams to dreamer
That song and the laughter
Come follow, come follow
All that you love
Leave dreams to the dreamer
That song and the laughter
Come follow, come follow
Follow all that you love
When the shy star goes forth in heaven
All maidenly, disconsolate
