Hark! The Vesper Hymn Is Stealing

Title:     Hark! The Vesper Hymn Is Stealing
Author: Thomas Moore [More Titles by Moore]

(RUSSIAN AIR.)

Hark! the vesper hymn is stealing
O'er the waters soft and clear;
Nearer yet and nearer pealing,
And now bursts upon the ear:
Jubilate, Amen.
Farther now, now farther stealing
Soft it fades upon the ear:
Jubilate, Amen.

Now, like moonlight waves retreating
To the shore it dies along;
Now, like angry surges meeting,
Breaks the mingled tide of song
Jubilate, Amen.
Hush! again, like waves, retreating
To the shore, it dies along:
Jubilate, Amen.

[The end]
Thomas Moore's poem: Hark! The Vesper Hymn Is Stealing
