1. In the dark of night there shone for us
A moonbeam's glow, though no moon was there.

2. Her radiance perfumed the air, yet asked
No scent of flowers - her own fragrance was fair.

3. Her light and joy replaced for us
The dawn's first blush, the sea's shimmering pearls.

4. Then love enthroned her in our hearts to reign -
The gentle breezes played with us, unaware.
