[Verse 1]
The southern moon was glancing down
And the watchman was reclining
On his rush-strewn bed of leaves
A horse flew out, its rider gowned
And his armor, it was shining
Through his pale embroidered sleeves
[Verse 2]
The watchman twisted as he dozed
I could hear his keys a-jangle
In his pocket, held by string
He was handsome in repose
Illumined by his candles
Like a statue of a king
[Chorus]
The night, my dear, was cool and clear
I lay awake, too wide awake to sleep
[Verse 2]
The fall of music on the breeze
A faint and chimy wind hymn
A wild Aeolian spell
That slipped and shimmered through the trees
Sometimes shrinking to a minim
At others, bold as bells
The southern moon was glancing down
And the watchman was reclining
On his rush-strewn bed of leaves
A horse flew out, its rider gowned
And his armor, it was shining
Through his pale embroidered sleeves
[Verse 2]
The watchman twisted as he dozed
I could hear his keys a-jangle
In his pocket, held by string
He was handsome in repose
Illumined by his candles
Like a statue of a king
[Chorus]
The night, my dear, was cool and clear
I lay awake, too wide awake to sleep
[Verse 2]
The fall of music on the breeze
A faint and chimy wind hymn
A wild Aeolian spell
That slipped and shimmered through the trees
Sometimes shrinking to a minim
At others, bold as bells
