Art Songs Written For Voice And Piano

“Come to me in the silence of the night;

Come to me in the speaking silence of a dream.

Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright;

As sunlight on a stream;

Come back in tears,

O memory, hope, love of finished years.”

The cloud may stoop from heaven and take the shape,
With fold to fold, of mountain or of cape;
But O too fond, when have I answer’d thee?

“Come to me in the silence of the night; Come to me in the speaking silence of a dream. Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright; As sunlight on a stream; Come back in tears, O memory, hope, love of finished years.”

The cloud may stoop from heaven and take the shape, With fold to fold, of mountain or of cape; But O too fond, when have I answer’d thee?

“Come to me in the silence of the night;

Come to me in the speaking silence of a dream.

Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright;

As sunlight on a stream;

Come back in tears,

O memory, hope, love of finished years.”

The cloud may stoop from heaven and take the shape,
With fold to fold, of mountain or of cape;
But O too fond, when have I answer’d thee?
