Serenade (From "The Student Prince")

Overhead, the moon is beaming
 White as blossoms on the bough
 Nothing is heard but the song of a bird
 Filling all the air with dreaming
 Would my heart but still it's beating
 Only you can tell it how, beloved
 From your window give me greeting
 Hear my eternal vow
 Soft in the trees lies the echo of my longing
 While all around you my dreams of rapture throng
 My soul, my joy, my hope, my fear
 Your heart must tell you that I am near
 List from above while I pour out my love
 For you know through my life you are love'd
 Oh, hear my longing cry, oh, love me or I die
 Overhead, the moon is beaming
 White as blossoms on the bough
 Nothing is heard but the song of a bird
 Filling all the air with dreaming
 Would my heart but still it's beating
 Only you can tell it how, beloved
 From your window give me greeting
 I swear my eternal love
