Serenade 1925 'The Student Prince'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 07 Nov 2002

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.
Could my heart but still its beating,
Only you can tell it how!
Beloved,
from your window give me greeting;
Hear my eternal vow.
Soft in the trees
sighs the echo of my longing,
While all around you
my dreams of rapture throng.

[Chorus] Visions glowing around me thronging

My soul, my joy,
My hope, my fear,
Your heart must tell you that I am near!
Lean from above
while I pour out my love,
For you know to my life
you are love.
Oh, hear my longing cry!
Oh, love me, or I die!

[Chorus] Love Me!

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.
Could my heart but still its beating,
Only you can tell it how! Beloved,
From your window give me greeting.
I swear my eternal Love.
