The song was included Thomas Moore's National Airs (1818?), not in his well-known Irish Melodies.

From Thomas Moore's Melodies, Songs, Sacred Songs, and National Airs (1825 edition, p. 180). Some words, punctuations, and capitalizations are slightly different according to editions, such as has or hath.

Oft, in the stilly night

Scotch Air

Oft, in the stilly night,
Ere slumber's chain has bound me,
Fond mem'ry brings the light
Of other days around me;
The smiles, the tears,
Of boyhood's years,
The words of love then spoken;
The eyes that shone,
Now dimm'd and gone,
The cheerful hearts now broken.
Thus, in the stilly night,
Ere slumber's chain has bound me,
Sad mem'ry brings the light
Of other days around me.

When I remember all
The friends, so link'd 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 garland's dead,
And all but he departed!
Thus, in the stilly night,
Ere slumber's chain has bound me,
Sad mem'ry brings the light
Of other days around me.
