No word from Tom
Has love no voice, can love not keep
A Maytime vow in cities?
Fades it as the rose
Cut for a rich display?
Forgot! But no, to weep is not enough
He needs my help
Love hears, Love knows
Love answers him across the silent miles, and goes
Quietly, night
O find him and caress
And may thou quiet find
His heart, although it be unkind
Nor may its beat confess
Although I weep, although I weep, although I weep
It knows, it knows of loneliness
Guide me, O moon
Chastely when I depart
And warmly be the same
He watches without grief or shame
It cannot, cannot be thou art
A colder moon, a colder moon upon a colder heart
My father! Can I desert him
And his devotion for a love who has deserted me?
No, my father has strength of purpose
While Tom is weak and needs the comfort of a helping hand
O God, protect dear Tom, support my father, and strengthen my resolve
Has love no voice, can love not keep
A Maytime vow in cities?
Fades it as the rose
Cut for a rich display?
Forgot! But no, to weep is not enough
He needs my help
Love hears, Love knows
Love answers him across the silent miles, and goes
Quietly, night
O find him and caress
And may thou quiet find
His heart, although it be unkind
Nor may its beat confess
Although I weep, although I weep, although I weep
It knows, it knows of loneliness
Guide me, O moon
Chastely when I depart
And warmly be the same
He watches without grief or shame
It cannot, cannot be thou art
A colder moon, a colder moon upon a colder heart
My father! Can I desert him
And his devotion for a love who has deserted me?
No, my father has strength of purpose
While Tom is weak and needs the comfort of a helping hand
O God, protect dear Tom, support my father, and strengthen my resolve
