with eyes the colour of the sea,
with smile to set the soul ablaze
with all the world of youth at ease.
Chorus
As the sun sinks and the dew falls
so he comes, the master of my call
with voice so sweet and heart so true
for love we'll sing the whole night through.
In meadows green where fairies hide
on banks where yellow lilies grow
there lives a man I truly love
as only in my dreams I know.
Chorus
Now the sun has gone, the moon is high
and he, my shepherd, wanders near,
so sweet the touch of his warm hands
so dear, my dearest love, so near.
Chorus
