Lyrics:
Oft in the stilly night ere Slumber's chain has bound me
Fond Memory brings the lights of other days around me
The smiles, the tears of boyhood's years- the words of love then spoken
The eyes that shone now dimmed and gone, the cheerful hearts now broken
Thus in the stilly night ere Slumber's chain hath bound me
Sad Memory brings the lights of other days around me
When I remember all the friends so linked together
I've seen around me fall like leaves in wintry weather
I feel like one who treads alone some banquet-hall deserted
Whose lights are fled, whose garlands dead and all but he departed
Thus in the stilly night ere Slumber's chain has bound me
Sad Memory brings the lights of other days around me.
