Sleep on, and dream of me
Music: Louisa Gray (1830–1911) · Words: Louisa Gray
Sleep on my love the moon has rais’d her light,
And thro' thy lattice silv'ry beams are gently
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:13) and stops after the last: the piano and the words come from the score, so a key change or a slower tempo changes no sound file.
The microphone is asked for only when you press its button. What it hears is measured and scored on this device and never leaves it; nothing is kept unless you record and save the file yourself. What is kept, and where.
The words
Sleep on my love the moon has rais’d her light,
And thro' thy lattice silv'ry beams are gently
creeping, While trembling stars look out from
Heav'n and smile, As tho' sweet vigil o'er thee
keeping, Sleep on my love sleep on,
Methinks the night winds breathe thy name,
And whisper thro' the roses sweet "good night"
While at thy casement I murmur softly,
Sleep on sleep on and dream my love of me.
Sleep on my love the night is waning fast,
And soon the lark with carol gay will break thy
slumber, For thy dear sake for thy dear sake,
'Tis sweet the silent hours of night to number,
Sleep on my love sleep on, While all is still
none can hear, I breathe a fervent pray'rto
Heav'nthee, And at thy casement mursoftly,
Sleep on sleep on and dream my love of
me.
