My Lady Sleeps

Stars of the summer night!
Far in yon azure deeps
Hide, hide your golden light!
She sleeps!
My lady sleeps!

Moon of the summer night!
Far down yon western steeps
Sink, sink in silver light!
She sleeps!
My lady sleeps!

Wind of the summer night!
Where yonder woodbine creeps
Fold, fold thy pinions light!
She sleeps!
My lady sleeps!

Dreams of the summer night!
Tell her, her lover keeps
Watch! While in slumber's light
She sleeps!
My lady sleeps!
