(Words by Thomas Moore, Traditional Scottish Tune, 1815)
Oft in the stilly night,
Ere slumber's chain has bound me,
Sweet Mem'ry brings the light
Of other days around me.
The smiles, the tears, of boyhood's years,
The words of love them spoken;
the eyes that shone,
Now dimmed and gone,
The cheerful hearts now broken.
Thus in the stilly night,
Ere slumber's chain hath bound me,
Sad mem'ry brings the light
Of other days around me.
