  2. Local Songs - The Sweet Silvery Light of the Moon

    I
    As I strayed from my cot at the close of the day,
    About the beginning of June.
    Near Jasmine shade I espied a fair maid,
    And she sadly complained to the moon.
    II
    Roll on gentle moon guide the travellers away
    While the nightingale sings in full bloom,
    Never again thy sweet vision I'll see,
    By the sweet silvery eight of the moon.
