Oft in the Stilly Night.Oft in the stilly night,Ere slumber’s chain has bound me,Fond mem’ry brings the lightOf other days around me;The smiles, the tears of childhood’s years,The words of love then spoken,The eyes that shone, now dimm’d and gone,The cheerful hearts now broken!Thus in the stilly night, &c.When I remember allThe friends so link’d together,I’ve seen around me fall,Like leaves in winter weather,I feel like one, who treads aloneSome banquet hall deserted,Whose lights are fled, whose garland’s dead,And all but he departed.Thus in the stilly night, &c.

Oft in the stilly night,
Ere slumber’s chain has bound me,
Fond mem’ry brings the light
Of other days around me;
The smiles, the tears of childhood’s years,
The words of love then spoken,
The eyes that shone, now dimm’d and gone,
The cheerful hearts now broken!
Thus in the stilly night, &c.

When I remember all
The friends so link’d together,
I’ve seen around me fall,
Like leaves in winter weather,
I feel like one, who treads alone
Some banquet hall deserted,
Whose lights are fled, whose garland’s dead,
And all but he departed.
Thus in the stilly night, &c.
