[English Subtitles Available] Text: On moonlit night I wander free On moonlit night I wander free My mind to roam on thoughts of thee With midnight darkness beckoning My heart, my heart toward mystic fantasy Come and dream Come and dream in me How beautiful this night in June And here, upon the velvet dune I weep with joy beneath the moon The path lies dark before my sight And yet my feet with pure delight Trod onward through the blackened vale Beneath the starry sky so bright O, share thy light These woods, their weary wand′rer soon In awe and fearful wonder swoon I weep with joy beneath the moon And as the darkened hours flee My heart beats ever rapidly Though heavy hang my eyes with sleep My soul, my singing soul, it cries to thee My singing soul, it cries to thee My singing soul, it cries to thee Come sing with me, come sing with me Come and sing, come and sing with me The twinkling sky casts forth its tune O, must I leave thy charms so soon? I weep with joy beneath the moon
