The Student Serenade from the Student Prince

Overhead, the moon is beaming

White as blossoms on the bough

Nothing is heard but the song of a bird

Filling all the air with dreaming

Could my heart but still it's beating

Only you can tell it how, beloved

From your window give me greeting

Hear my eternal vow

Soft in the trees sighs the echo of my longing

While all around you my dreams of rapture throng

My soul, my joy, my hope, my fear

Your heart must tell you that I am near

Lean from above while I pour out my love

For you know to my life you are love

Oh, hear my longing cry, oh, love me or I die

Overhead, the moon is beaming

White as blossoms on the bough

Nothing is heard but the song of a bird

Filling all the air with dreaming

Could my heart but still it's beating

Only you can tell it how, beloved

From your window give me greeting

I swear my eternal love
