the river overflows down to the sea,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
a wintry song to tame the reveled night,
and born of love the stars blaze ever bright,
with soft-ringed beams that sigh like poetry.
dark woven hour, how you inspire me,
the midnight gleams with pools of paean light,
the drowsy moon is shining filmy-white,
the woodlands shrink and dream of sanctuary. 
arise on arching wings, oh, song once sung,&nbsp;&nbsp; 
oh, water sprite, oh, lily of the vale, 
you pine for love, the forest weaves a spell,
unearthly voice of honey throat and tongue
&nbsp;&nbsp;i hear you whisper, sing your wild, wild tale,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
&nbsp;&nbsp;then bid the world goodbye and sweet farewell.
