Beneath thy window
As the sun is fading
Among the happy flowers
My watch I'm keeping

While gentle breezes
To thy presence creeping
Thy dreamy heart
With songs are serenading

Arise, beloved
The world is bright
I love thee dearly
Come forth tonight

I love, I love thee dearly
Come forth tonight
Come forth tonight

The dawn is breaking
Now awakes the morrow
My vessel from the shore
Is swiftly sailing

Thou slumb'rest still
My tears are unavailing
But still I sing
For thee my serenade

Sleep on, beloved
The dawn is nigh
I love thee dearly
Farewell, goodbye

I love, I love thee dearly
Farewell, goodbye
Goodbye!
