SOFTLY shines the autumn moon, -
Softly, gently, sweetly, brightly;
Ah, it is a precious boon
'Neath its rays to slumber lightly.
Earth and I in the pure beams
All our hurts and griefs are healing;
Nature full of music seems, -
Still so gently o'er me stealing.
Dreamland vaguely seems to float
Like a seaweed on the ocean, -
Seems to rock me like a boat
With an undulating motion;
But I start up from repose
With an agitated feeling,
For that music comes and goes,
Still so gently o'er me stealing.
Vainly do I seek to sink
Dreaming 'neath the wings of Morpheus,
For that music is, I think,
Rivalling the lyre of Orpheus.
Fine musicians! lovely tones
On my tympanum vibrating!
To the centre of my bones
Every note is penetrating.
Cursed assassins! Now I see
That they are those blanked mosquitoes;
They have come to murder me
With their poisonous stilettos.
They have sung their requiem!
Holy Mary, help me bury
Every mother's son of them
'Neath a Webster's Dictionary!
