1. Deep in the night I lonely sat,
And I watch’d the palefaced moon,
And I heard the songters of the grove
Chanting a merry tune.
My mind’s eye smil’d on the dreamy past,
And it wandered o’er life’s sea,
’Till my life was lost in the happy thought,
Of thee— only thee.

CHORUS
But not of smiles from other eyes,
Nor faces fair to see,
For beautiful one, my ev'ry thought,
Was of thee' only thee.

2. I saw the beautiful orbs of night,
Look down from the azure skies;
And ev’ry time that I smiled on them,
They seemed as thy lovely eyes.
’Twas not of the worldly ones I thought,
But a purer bliss to me,
When I let my faith like a swift bird fly
To thee— only thee.

CHORUS
But not of smiles from other eyes,
Nor faces fair to see,
For beautiful one, my ev'ry thought,
Was of thee' only thee.

3. I bade farewell to the passing moon,
And the twinking stars so bright,
And I said “Adieu” to the troubled world,
But to thee, “Sweet dreams, good night.”
And when slumber soft mine eyelids closed,
Oh! I wish’d that my life could be
As pure and sweet as the dreams I had
Of thee— on;ly thee.

CHORUS
But not of smiles from other eyes,
Nor faces fair to see,
For beautiful one, my ev'ry thought,
Was of thee' only thee.
