First lines
Lo, the vesper hour hath flown, Voices of the dewy night Hold me captive with delight To their mystic tone.
Strangely wild, yet passing sweet, Falls their music on my ear, While a fountain soft and clear Murmurs at my feet.
Ah, too soon the moments fly, Now the bird his nest forsakes And the rosy morning breaks From the Orient sky.
1903
