Stars And Rosebuds 1917 "Hearts Of Erin"

In the days of old romance
a minstrel gay
loved a lady fair,
proud beyond compare!

In the days of old romance
a minstrel gay
loved a lady fair,
proud beyond compare!
And beneath her window
he would sing this lay,
while the moon and stars
were twinkling brightly.

Moonbeams, star gleams,
cold and so distant are!
Pray, love,
say, love,
are you not colder far!
Dear love, dream of one who adores you!
Dreaming alone,
you're mine own!
Happy hours of entrancing illusion if
you, love,
knew, love,
How I my vigil keep,
Would you,
could you
still in oblivion sleep?
Softly then she threw from her casement,
Rose buds
those buds whose crimson hearts
are perfumed tokens of bliss.
Moon beams, star gleams!
Silent you shone above
but rosebuds, those buds,
they told him he had won her love!
