Murmuring Sea, Stephen Glover

Historic Sheet Music Collection

[verse 1]
Murmuring sea! Beautiful sea!
How I love to list to thy melody,
When the winds are still in the rocky caves,
And the sweet stars glance on thy purple waves
Tis then I dream of the distant land,
Where I left a loveing and joyous band
Oh! dearer than ever they seem to be,
As I muse on the shore of the murmuring sea,
As I muse on the shore of the murmuring sea!

[verse 2]
Murmuring sea! Beautiful sea!
I no more shall sail o'er thy water free,
But I watch the ships till the fade from …

Where The Warbling Waters Flow, Brinley Richards

Historic Sheet Music Collection

Where the warbling waters flow,
And the Zephyrs gently blow,
Where the warbling waters flow,
And the Zephyrs gently blow,
The Fairies dwell,
In grassy dell,
Where the forest flowers grow-
And the Zephyrs gently blow,
And a joyous home is theirs,
For it know not mortal cares.
And its only tear,
is the dew-drop clear;
That the bending lily bears,
And the only tear,
Is the dew-drop clear;
That the bending lily bears.

No, Ne'er Can Thy Home Be Mine, Thomas H. Bayly

Historic Sheet Music Collection

First verse solo by 1st voice, 2nd verse solo by 2nd voice.

[verse 1]
I have told thee how sweet the roses are
In my home beyond the sea;
Where the dark-eyed maid with her sweet guitar,
Sits under the orange tree;
Then fly, Oh! fly from this isle of storm,
Where all that is fair must pine,
To a sky more blue, and a sun more warm,
Hence-forth let my home be thine.
I will sing to thee, If with me thou'lt rove,
The song of the olden time;
Thou wilt never compare with my ardent love,
The love …

Gently Sighs The Breeze, Stephen Glover

Historic Sheet Music Collection

Gently, gently sighs the breeze
Like a whisper thro' the trees,
Like a voice of seraph bright,
Singing to the world "good night".

NIght, the evening breeze,
Seems to whisper thro' the trees,
Now the woodland murmurs cease,
All is sweet repose and peace.

Ev'ry hill and ev'ry glade,
In the twilight seems to fade,
While the whisp'ring breezes say
Orisons for close of day
Hush! the birds are gone to rest
O'er the earth night's sable vest,
Hides her beauties from our sight
We, sweet friend, We sweet friend
Must breathe good night!

List, To The Convent Bells, John Blockley

Historic Sheet Music Collection

List, 'tis music stealing over the rippling sea,
Bright yon moon, is beaming, Over each tow'r and tree;
List, 'tis music stealing, over the rippling sea,
Bright yon moon, is beaming, Over each tow'r and tree;
The waves seem list'ning to their sound,
As silently they flow, O'er coral groves and fairy ground,
And sparkling caves below.
List! 'tis music stealing, O'er the rippling sea,
Bright yon moon, is beaming, Over each tow'r and tree;
List, 'tis music stealing, over the rippling sea,
Bright yon moon, is beaming, Over each tow'r and tree;
List! List! List to the Convent Bells. …

I Would That My Love, Felix Mendelssohn

Historic Sheet Music Collection

[verse 1]
I would that my love could silently flow in a single word,
I'd give it the merry breezes,
They'd waft it away in sport,
I'd give it the merry breezes,
They'd waft it away in sport, they'd waft it away in sport.

[verse 2]
To thee... on their wings, my fairest,
that soul felt word they would bear,
Should'st hear it at every moment,
And hear.... it everywhere,
Should'st hear it at every moment,
and hear it everywhere,
and everywhere, and hear it everywhere.

[chorus]
At night when thine eyelids in slumber
have clos'd those bright heav'nly beams, …

Light May The Boat Row, John Watson

Historic Sheet Music Collection

O calmly may the waves flow,
And lightly may the boat row,
And safe and swift the boat go,
That my lad's in.
He plies the oar so tightly,
Moves in the dance so sprightly,
So gracefully and lightly,
O there are none like him.

Light may the boat row, the boat row,
Light may the boat row,
That my lad's in.
I know he is true hearted, true heated, true hearted,
He promised, when we parted,
To come to me again.

Light may the boat row, the boat row, the boat row,
Light may the boat row, that my …

I Know A Bank, Charles Horn

Historic Sheet Music Collection

I know a back whereon the wild thyme blows,
Where cowslips and the nodding violet grows,
I know a bank whereon the wild thyme blows,... the wild thyme blows,
I know a bank whereon the wild thyme blows,
Where cowslips and the nodding violet grows.
There sleeps the fairy Queen,....
There sleeps the fairy Queen.
I know a bank whereon the wild thyme blows,
And the nodding, nodding violet grows.
There sleeps the fairy Queen,
There sleeps sometimes of the night,
Lulled in their flowers with dances and delight
with dances and delight.

Midnight Moon, Stephen Glover

Historic Sheet Music Collection

[verse 1]
The midnight moon is beautiful,
When rising from the sea,
She guides the wand'ring mariner
Across the waters free...
The shining stars are eloquent
Within their golden spheres,...
When oft before the musing mind
They bring the Lost of years.
The midnight moon is beautiful,
When rising from the sea,
She guides the wand'ring mariner
Across the waters free.

[verse 2]
There is no voice or language heard,
Those radiant orbs among,
And yet they breather at midnight hour
A sweet and solemn song....
To earth and sea's remotest shores,
They tell the power diving
That launch'd them …

Moon Is Beaming O'Er The Lake, John Blockley

Historic Sheet Music Collection

The moon is beaming o'er the lake,
Come sail in our light canoe;
Sweet sounds of music we'll awake,
As we glide o'er the waters blue,
The moon is beaming o'er the lake,
Come sail in our light canoe;
Sweet sounds of music we'll awake,
As we glide o'er the waters blue.
In our light canoe,
Over the rippling silver tide,
While free from care,
As away we merrily glide.

The vesper bell is pealing,
From yonder lonely tow'r,
its tones now gently stealing,
Proclaim the vesper hour,
The vesper bell is pealing,
From yonder lonely tow'r
Its tunes now …

Evening Song To The Virgin, Felicia Dorothea Hemans

Historic Sheet Music Collection

Ave sanctissima,
We lift our souls to thee,
Ora pronobis,
'Tis nightfall on the sea.
Watch us while shadows lie,
Far o'er the waters spread.
Hear the heart's lonely sigh,
Thine too hath bled.
Thou that hast look'd on Death,
Aid us when Death is near.
Whisper of Heav'n to Faith, Sweet Mother,
sweet mother, hear!
Ora pronobis,
The wave must rock our sleep,
Ora Mater ora,
Star of the Deep.

Tea And Turn Out, Jonas Blewitt

Historic Sheet Music Collection

Lady verse 1
The neighbours, oh let me invite them!
Dear Husband, we must give a ball,
The neighbours will think that we slight them,
Unless we send cards to them all,
Unless we send cards to them all, to them all,
Unless we send cards to them all.

Gent. verse 1
The neighbours, pooh, fiddle de dee, ma'am,
What is all this turmoil about?
Pray why can't you ask them to tea, ma'am?
There's nothing like tea and turn out,
Oh, nothing like tea and turn out, turn out
There's nothing like tea and turn out.

Lady verse 2 …

What Are The Wild Waves Saying?, Stephen Glover

Historic Sheet Music Collection

Paul
What are the wild waves saying Sister, the whole day long,
That ever amid our playing, I hear but their low lone song?
Not by the seaside only, There it sounds wild and free;
But at night when 'tis dark and lonely,
In dreams it is still with me...
But at night when 'tis dark and lonely,
In dreams it is still with me!

Florence
Brother! I hear no singing! 'Tis but the rolling wave,
Ever its lone course winging, Over some ocean cave!
'Tis but the noise of water, Dashing against the shore,
And the wind from some …

Roy's Wife, Elizabeth Grant

Historic Sheet Music Collection

[written above music staff]
Roy's wife of Aldivalloch! Roy's wife of Aldivalloch!
Wat ye how she cheated me,
As I came o'er the braes of Balloch!
She vowed, she swore she wad bemine;
She said she lo'ed me best of ony;
But ah, the fickle, faithless, faithless queen!
She's ta'en the earl, and left he Jonnie.

Though you leave me now in sorrow,
Smiles may light our love tomorrow,
Doomed to part my faithful heart,
A gleam of joy from hope shall borrow.
Ah! ne'er forget when friends are near,
This heart alone is thine forever,
Thou may'st find those …

Mrs. Smith, My Dear!, John Watson

Historic Sheet Music Collection

Mr. Smith verse 1
Mrs. Smith upon my word, This is really too absurd,
There is surely no one like you, Either far or near;
Winter, summer, autumn, spring, You'r for ever on the wing,
Never quiet for a moment, Mrs. Smith my dear,
Winter, summer, autumn, spring,
You'r for ever on the wing;
Never quiet for a moment, Mrs. Smith my dear!

Mrs. Smith verse 1
Mr. Smith, upon my conscience, How can you talk such nonsense,
I fear you little judgement isn't over clear;
Mrs. Jones, and Mrs. Noga, have both gone to Saratoga,
And Cape May was …

Arrayed In Clouds Of Golden Light, Oliver Shaw

Historic Sheet Music Collection

Arrayed in clouds of golden light,
More bright, More bright than heaven's resplendent bow,
More bright than heaven's resplendent bow.
Jehovah's Angel came by night, To bless the sleeping world below,
How soft the music of his tongue, How sweet the hallowed strains be sung,
How soft the music of his tongue, How sweet the hallowed strains be sung

"Good will henceforth to men be given,"
The light of glory beams on earth;
Let Angels tune the harps of heaven,
And saints below rejoice with mirth.
On Bethlehem's plains the shepherds sing,
And Judah's children hail their King.

Two Merry Girls, Stephen Glover

Historic Sheet Music Collection

Two merry girls, from morn to night
Our mirth and song we mingle,
The reason why we never sigh,
We both mean to keep single,
We both mean to keep single;
We climb the hills, We rove the vales together,
The tempests blow,no fear we know,
Our life's all sunny weather,
The tempests blow,no fear we know,
Our life's all sunny weather.

But if amid our green retreat, Some wand'ring youth we'd chance to meet
Then tell me, sister, should you fly And leave me lonely standing by,
Why sister dear, there's danger seen
When youths and maids meet on …

O, Wert Thou In The Cauld Blast, Felix Mendelssohn

Historic Sheet Music Collection

O wert thou in the cauld blast,
On yonder lea, On yonder lea,
My plaidie to the angry airt...
I'd shelter thee, I'd shelter thee,
Or did misfortune's bitter storms
Around thee blaw, Around thee blaw,
Thy shield should be my bosom,
To share it a', To share it a'.

Or were I in the wildest waste,
Sae black and bare, Sae black and bare,
The dessert were a paradise,
If thou wert there, If thou wert there.
Or were I monarch of the globe,
With thee to reign, With thee to reign,
The brightest jewel in my crown,
Wad …

What Fairy-Like Music, Joseph De Pinna, Cornewell Baron Wilson

Historic Sheet Music Collection

What fairy like music steals over the sea,
Entrancing the senses with charmed melody.
What fairy like music steals over the sea,
Entrancing the senses with charmed melody?
'Tis the voice of the mermaid, that floats o'er the main,
As she mingles her song with the gondolier's strain.
'Tis the voice o f the mermaid that floats o'er the main,
As she mingles her song with the gondolier's strain.

The winds are all hushed, and the waters at rest,
They sleep like the passions in infancy's breast.
The winds are all hushed, and the waters at rest;
They sleep like …

Passage Bird's Farewell, Felix Mendelssohn

Historic Sheet Music Collection

Ah, once how fair, both wood and lawn,
But now so dull the world has grown!
'Tis gone, the joyous summer time,
And sorry winter sends its rime
'Tis gone, the joyous summer time
And sorry winter sends its rime

With verdant shelter every where
we knew not sadness, had no care,
The sun shone clear, we sang away
In mirth and joy the live-long day,
In mirth and joy the livelong day
Now we poor birds, our sorrow's come;
The leaves are gone, we have no home;
To seek one 'neath a warmer sky, We far away from here …

Meet Me By Moonlight, Robert Shrival

Historic Sheet Music Collection

Meet my by moonlight alone,
And then I will tell you a tale,
Must be told by the moonlight alone,
In the grove at the end of the vale.
You must promise to come,
for I said I would show the night flowers their Queen
Nay, turn not away that sweet head.
'Tis the loveliest ever was seen
O meet me by moonlight alone...
meet me by moonlight alone...
Yes, I'll meet thee, I'll meet thee by moonlight alone.

Daylight may do for the gay,
The though[t]less, the heartless, the free,
But there's somthing about the moon's ray,
That is …

Hear Me, Norma, Sydney Nelson

Historic Sheet Music Collection

Hear me, Norma, in pity hear me,
I would fain dispel thy dark despait;
At thy feet behold thy children kneeling,
Can a mother's heart reject their prayer,
When the heart is cold that should have cherish'd
Ev'ry hope of joy it falsely gave;
Would'st thou have me live
Ah no! thou would'st not, my only haven, alas! is but the grave.
Ah, in vain you thus implore me,
Time can not my joys restore me.
Yet could he feel who caus'd my anguish,
How deep hath been thy silent sorrow,
Then repentant, he would languish at my feet
ere …

I'Ve Wandered In Dreams, Joseph Augustine Wade

Historic Sheet Music Collection

Gent. Solo
I've wander'd in dreams to the moonlight's home,
In fancy I've been where a thought could roam;
I've blissfully gaz'd on the dewy smiles,
Of the maidens that dwell in the starry Isles;
And have waken'd from slumber pure and free,
From their airy charms to love but thee,
To love, to love, to love, to love but thee!

Lady. Solo
I've dreamt about Eden's blissful bow'rs,
And breath'd the sighing of heav'n's own flow'rs,
I've heard the wild songs of the Paradise birds,
But even is sleeping, the mem'ry of words
Once spoken by thee,
came sweet …

Parigi. O Cara, Giuseppe Verdi

Historic Sheet Music Collection

O! lov'd Italia! Dear home of our childhood!
Ah! with shat joy, we welcome thy shore
Often, in sadness, our fond hearts have ponder'd, welcome thy shore
Often, in sadness, our gond hearts have ponder'd,
Sighing to tread Thy valleys once more.

As we behold thee, still calmly glowing,
Cloth'd in thy beauty, Like some fair bride
All that in, absence, Warmly we pictur'd,
Now, fills each breast With rapture and pride;

Yes, lov'd Italia! Dear home of our childhood!
Thou art my mother, roam where we will
Oh when the mem'ry Of all else hath faded.
We shall revere, …

Dark Day Of Horror, Gioacchino Rossini

Historic Sheet Music Collection

Dark day of horror, And yet of gladness;
While I embrace thee, Banish'd is sadness!
This heart consigneth unto oblivion,
That awful destiny Fate hate decreed!

'Tis sweet to find one feeling heart, to find one feeling heart
When grief o'er clout-eth
Sweet is the smile of love, 'tis joy indeed,
Sweet smile of filial love, 'tis joy indeed
Ah! 'tis joy indeed, 'tis joy, joy indeed.

To see one pitying tear, shen sorrow's mantle dark
The soul enshroud-eth.
Sweet is the smile of love, 'tis joy indeed,
Sweet smile of filial love, 'tis joy indeed
Ah! 'tis joy indeed, …
