A poem by Thomas Moore

Wake Up, Sweet Melody

________________________________________________
Title:     Wake Up, Sweet Melody
Author: Thomas Moore [More Titles by Moore]

Wake up, sweet melody!
Now is the hour
When young and loving hearts
Feel most thy power,
One note of music, by moonlight's soft ray--
Oh, 'tis worth thousands heard coldly by day.
Then wake up, sweet melody!
Now is the hour
When young and loving hearts
Feel most thy power.

Ask the fond nightingale,
When his sweet flower
Loves most to hear his song,
In her green bower?
Oh, he will tell thee, thro' summer-nights long,
Fondest she lends her whole soul to his song.
Then wake up, sweet melody!
Now is the hour
When young and loving hearts
Feel most thy power.


[The end]
Thomas Moore's poem: Wake Up, Sweet Melody
