The night is calm and cloudless, | The night is calm and cloudless, | ||
And still as still can be, | And still as still can be, | ||
And the stars come out to listen | And the stars come out to listen | ||
To the music of the sea; | To the music of the sea; | ||
They gather, and gather, and gather, | They gather, and gather, and gather, | ||
Until they crowd the sky, | Until they crowd the sky, | ||
And listen, in breathless silence, | And listen, in breathless silence, | ||
To the solemn Litany. | To the solemn Litany. | ||
It begins in rocky caverns, | It begins in rocky caverns, | ||
As a voice that chants alone | As a voice that chants alone | ||
To the pedals of the organ | To the pedals of the organ | ||
In monotonous undertone; | In monotonous undertone; | ||
And anon from shelving beaches, | And anon from shelving beaches, | ||
And shallow sands beyond, | And shallow sands beyond, | ||
In snow-white robes uprising, | In snow-white robes uprising, | ||
The ghostly choirs respond: | The ghostly choirs respond: | ||
Christe eleison. | Christe eleison. | ||
And sadly, and unceasing, | And sadly, and unceasing, | ||
The mournful voice runs on, | The mournful voice runs on, | ||
And the snow-white choirs still answer: | And the snow-white choirs still answer: | ||
Christe eleison. | Christe eleison. | ||

The night is calm and cloudless,
And still as still can be,
And the stars come out to listen
To the music of the sea;
They gather, and gather, and gather,
Until they crowd the sky,
And listen, in breathless silence,
To the solemn Litany.
It begins in rocky caverns,
As a voice that chants alone
To the pedals of the organ
In monotonous undertone;
And anon from shelving beaches,
And shallow sands beyond,
In snow-white robes uprising,
The ghostly choirs respond:
Christe eleison.
And sadly, and unceasing,
The mournful voice runs on,
And the snow-white choirs still answer:
Christe eleison.
