Oft in the Stilly Night
Verse 1 Oft, in the stilly night, Ere slumber’s chain has bound me, Fond memory brings the light, Of other days around me; Chorus 1 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!	Verse 3 Thus, in the stilly night, Ere slumber’s chain has bound me, Sad memory brings the light, Of other days around me. (Chorus 3 is absent. Fine.)
Verse 2 When I remember all, The friends, so link’d together, I’ve seen around me fall, Like leaves in wintry weather; Chorus 2 I feel like one, Who treads alone, Some banquet-hall deserted, Whose lights are fled, Whose garlands dead, And all but he departed!
