The Day is Now Dawning.

Topics: classic

William.     The day is now dawning, love,      Fled is the night--     I go like the morning, love,      Cheerful and bright.     Then adieu, dearest Ellen:      When evening is near,     I'll visit thy dwelling,      For true love is here.     Ellen.     Oh, come where the fountain, love,      Tranquilly flows;     Beneath the green mountain, love,      Seek for repose;     There the days of our childhood,      In love's golden beam,     'Mong the blue-bells and wildwood,      Passed on like a dream.     William.     Oh, linger awhile, love!     Ellen.                 I must away.     William.     Oh, grant me thy smile, love,      'Tis Hope's cheering ray--     With evening expect me.     Ellen.     To the moment be true,      And may angels protect thee--     Both.     Sweet Ellen, adieu!     Dear William, adieu!
