All through the night <br></br>
While the weary world is sleeping <br></br>
All through the night <br></br>
O'er thy spirit gently stealing <br></br>
Visions of delight revealing <br></br>
Breathes a pure and holy feeling <br></br>
All through the night <br></br><br></br>
Though I roam a minstrel lonely <br></br>
All through the night <br></br>
My true harp shall praise sing only <br></br>
All through the night <br></br>
Love's young dream, alas, is over <br></br>
Yet my strains of love shall hover <br></br>
Near the presence of my lover <br></br>
All through the night <br></br><br></br>
Hark, a solemn bell is ringing <br></br>
Clear through the night <br></br>
Thou, my love, art heavenward winging <br></br>
Home through the night <br></br>
Earthly dust from off thee shaken <br></br>
Soul immortal shalt thou awaken <br></br>
With thy last dim journey taken <br></br>
Home through the night</span>
