 Their tents in thi- rays of the clear autumn moon.

 Thro' the forest leaves slowly is creeping. 
 While the stars up ahove, with their glittering eye 
 
 Ki'ep guard o'er the army while sleeping.

 He passes the fountain, the l)laste(t pine trei'. 
 
 .\nd his footste]> is lagging and weary; 
 Yet onward he goes thro' the broad belt of light. 
 
 Towards the shades of the forest so dreary. 
 
 Hark I was it the night wihd thnt rustles th.e leave- 
 Was it thd' moonlight so wondrously Hashing? 
 
 It look^■d like a ritle! ""Ha! Mary, good-bye I"
