Look From Thy Lattice, Love.

Look from thy lattice, love--         Listen to me!     The cool, balmy breeze         Is abroad on the sea!     The moon, like a queen,         Roams her realms above,     And naught is awake         But the spirit of love.     Ere morn's golden light         Tips the hills with its ray,     Away o'er the waters--         Away and away!     Then look from thy lattice, love--         Listen to me.     While the moon lights the sky,         And the breeze curls the sea!     Look from thy lattice, love--         Listen to me!     In the voyage of life,         Love our pilot will be!     He'll sit at the helm         Wherever we rove,     And steer by the load-star         He kindled above!     His gem-girdled shallop         Will cut the bright spray,     Or skim, like a bird,         O'er the waters away!     Then look from thy lattice, love--         Listen to me,     While the moon lights the sky,         And the breeze curls the sea!
