Thomas Moore - Oft, in the Stilly NightThomas Moore - Oft, in the Stilly Night
Work rating: Medium


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,     Of boyhood`s 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.   When I remember all   The friends, so link`d together,   I`ve seen around me fall,   Like leaves in wintry weather;   I feel like one   Who treads alone   Some banquet-hall deserted,   Whose lights are fled,   Whose garlands dead,   And all but he departed!   Thus, in the stilly night,   Ere slumber`s chain has bound me,   Sad memory brings the light   Of other days around me.
