 When Daylight Breaks

When daylight breaks

Across the sky

And streaks of gold

The day unfold,

When darkness fades in mellow light

And day-time angels chase the night,

Then all my peaceful dreaming wakes

To love thee more when daylight breaks.

When daylight breaks

In dusky hue

To kindle diamonds

In the dew,

And shadows in the valley deep

Play hide and seek, and star beams peep

With radiance waned, an offering wakes

To thee, my love, when daylight breaks.

When daylight wakes

Across the sky,

When starlight fades

And moonbeams die,

When dusky lashes catch the light

From hovering dreams, and all the night

Has fled, I wake to bless the fates

For thy sweet love when daylight breaks.
