Speak to me my love by Frank Bridge Lyrics

Speak to me, my love!
Tell me in words what you sang
The night is dark
The stars are lost in clouds
The wind is sighing through the leaves
I will let loose my hair
My blue cloak will cling round me like the night
I will clasp your head to my bosom;
And there in the sweet loneliness
Murmur on your heart
I will shut my eyes and listen
I will not look in your face
When your words are ended
We will sit still and silent
Only the trees will whisper in the dark
The night will pale
The day will dawn
We shall look at each other's eyes
And go on our different paths
Speak to me, my love!
Tell me in words what you sang
