Sad and alone, at midnight hour,  
Sad and alone, at midnight hour,
Strange-seeming sounds come wafted near,  
Strange-seeming sounds come wafted near,
As when a mother's softest power  
As when a mother's softest power
Soothes into peace her nurseling dear.  
Soothes into peace her nurseling dear.
When unobserved soft tears are flowing,  
When unobserved soft tears are flowing,
Easing the pain that fills the heart;
Easing the pain that fills the heart;
And on the fev'rish brow bestowing  
And on the fev'rish brow bestowing
Calm that bids our cares depart.  
Calm that bids our cares depart.


As if the May, again returning,
As if the May, again returning,
Waved o'er our path her angel wing.  
Waved o'er our path her angel wing.
Life seems with gracious promise burning,  
Life seems with gracious promise burning,
Hailing anew its gentle Spring.  
Hailing anew its gentle Spring.
And as that dreamlike strain floats nigh me,  
And as that dreamlike strain floats nigh me,
Whate'er its sacred mission be,  
Whate'er its sacred mission be,
E'en while I wake it passes by me,
E'en while I wake it passes by me,
As though 'twere childhood's melody.
As though 'twere childhood's melody.

Sad and alone, at midnight hour,
Strange-seeming sounds come wafted near,
As when a mother's softest power
Soothes into peace her nurseling dear.
When unobserved soft tears are flowing,
Easing the pain that fills the heart;
And on the fev'rish brow bestowing
Calm that bids our cares depart.

As if the May, again returning,
Waved o'er our path her angel wing.
Life seems with gracious promise burning,
Hailing anew its gentle Spring.
And as that dreamlike strain floats nigh me,
Whate'er its sacred mission be,
E'en while I wake it passes by me,
As though 'twere childhood's melody.
