OFT IN THE STILLY NIGHT
CHORUS
Oft, in the stilly night
Ere slumber's chain has bound me
Fond memory brings the ligh
Of other days around meThe smiles, the tears of boyhood years
The words of love then spoken
The eyes that shone, now dimm'd and gone
The cheerful hearts now broken
ChorusThus in the stilly night,
Ere slumber's chain hath bound me
Sad memory brings the light
Of other days around meWhen I remember all
The friends, so linked together
I've seen around me fall
Like leaves in wintry weatherI feel like one, who treads alone
Some banquet hall deserted
Whose lights are fled, whose garlands dead
And all but he departed
Chorus-----
