by Henry Harris Aubrey Beach (1843 - 1910)
When far from her
Language: English
Shine out, shine out, good moon tonight, And light my darling's home, And east my shadow in her light When far from her I roam. Her lovely eyes with slumber seal, And dreams of mem'ries dear, Let happiness her sorrows heal, O would that I were near.
