More from Charles Jefferys
Come, wander with me, for the moonbeams are bright On river and forest, o'er mountain and lea.
A word in season spoken May calm the troubled breast.
Meek and lowly, pure and holy, Chief among the "blessed three."
The morn was fair, the skies were clear, No breath came o'er the sea.
Come o'er the moonlit sea, The waves are brightly glowing.
I have heard the mavis singing Its love-song to the morn; I've seen the dew-drop clinging To the rose just newly born.
