Lyrics: Anon
How dearly thro' the grove
At eve I love to rove,
And listen to the plaintive tale
Warbled by the nightingale.
Sweet bird of solitude,
No wand'ring footstep rude
Thy tranquility molest.
I'll guard off each unwelcome guest;
How dearly thro' the grove
At eve I love to rove,
And listen to the plaintive tale
Warbled by the nightingale.
Sweet mourner, let me join
A lover's plaint with thine.
Nought can calm the frequent sigh
Like thy plaintive harmony;
How dearly thro' the grove
At eve I love to rove,
And listen to the plaintive tale
Warbled by the nightingale.
How dearly thro' the grove
At eve I love to rove,
And listen to the plaintive tale
Warbled by the nightingale.
Sweet bird of solitude,
No wand'ring footstep rude
Thy tranquility molest.
I'll guard off each unwelcome guest;
How dearly thro' the grove
At eve I love to rove,
And listen to the plaintive tale
Warbled by the nightingale.
Sweet mourner, let me join
A lover's plaint with thine.
Nought can calm the frequent sigh
Like thy plaintive harmony;
How dearly thro' the grove
At eve I love to rove,
And listen to the plaintive tale
Warbled by the nightingale.
