Barcarolle lyrics

Night of stars, and night of love,
Fall gently o`er the waters,
Heav`n around below, above,
No more we`ll heed the shore!
Floating thus in silver light,
Sing on! Oh earth`s fair daughters
Love had ne`er an hour so bright,
In fabled days of yore.
The cadenc`d oar will rhyme
To the measure we sing,
Till even charmed Time,
Fold a moment his wing.
Wander on!
Till the dawn! Ah!
Night of stars, and night of love,
Fall gently o`er the waters,
Heave`n around below, above,
No more we`ll heed the shore.
Night of stars and of love,
Ah! Gently fall o`er the waters
Heave`n around below, above!
Ah! Ah!
