 MAGALI.

I. O, my love, my treasure!
 * Open thy casement while I sing

A morning song, and round the measure
 * With tambourine and viol string.

II. The sky with stars is glittering.
 * The wind 's at leisure;

But pale the stars of heaven will be,
 * Beholding thee!

III. The morning song floats idly by me,
 * As whisper of the early breeze.

I to the silver deep will hie me:
 * I 'll be an eel! I 'll bannt the seas!

IV. O Magali! the witcheries
 * In vain shall try me!

When thou art fish, I 'll fisher be.
 * And fish for thee!
