The Stars Were Rolling

The stars were rolling As the waves of seas That night overtakes Bewitches with his spells O this night be a night Of spells and magic Hear the breeze herself She sings verses tragic For the consummate delight Of stars of the white light Of fauns and nymphs dancing Dancing on the green lawn bright The stars were rolling A night as this Fit for his Sophocles and his harp For Homer and his lyre Fit by the roar of the Aegean As the waves of seas That night overtakes Bewitches with his spells O this night be a night Of spells and magic Hear the breeze herself She sings verses tragic For the consummate delight Of stars of the white light Of fauns and nymphs dancing Dancing on the green lawn bright The stars were rolling We must not tell, we must Not tell What we saw in the night To-night The stars shone blinding bright At times At times They somewhat fainted Into the azure black curtain That Night himself had painted For As the waves of seas That night overtakes Bewitches with his spells O this night be a night Of spells and magic Hear the breeze herself She sings verses tragic For the consummate delight Of stars of the white light Of fauns and nymphs dancing Dancing on the green lawn bright The stars were rolling
