[Charles Ives - When Stars Are in the Quiet Skies lyrics]
When stars are in the quiet skies
Then most I long for thee
O bend on me then thy tender eyes
As stars look down upon the peaceful sea
For thoughts, like waves that glide by night
Are stillest when they shine
All my love lies hush'd in light
Beneath the heaven of thine
There is an hour when holy dreams
Through slumber fairest glide
And in that mystic hour it seems
Thou shouldst be evеr at my side
The thoughts of thee too sacred arе
For daylight's common beam:
I can but know thee as my star
My guiding star, my angel and my dream
Then most I long for thee
O bend on me then thy tender eyes
As stars look down upon the peaceful sea
For thoughts, like waves that glide by night
Are stillest when they shine
All my love lies hush'd in light
Beneath the heaven of thine
There is an hour when holy dreams
Through slumber fairest glide
And in that mystic hour it seems
Thou shouldst be evеr at my side
The thoughts of thee too sacred arе
For daylight's common beam:
I can but know thee as my star
My guiding star, my angel and my dream
