[Intro] G D G G D G [Verse 1]
          G
There are gongs from a gage

       D7
Like a beautiful dream

      D7
And I seek there in vain

       G
By the meadow and stream

      G
Oft I breathe out your name

       D7
To the wind floating by

        D7
But the sweet voice is

          G
New to my cry
[Instrumental] G D G G D G [Verse 2]
       G
In the stillness of night

         D7
When the stars mildly shine

   D7
My heart fondly holds

    G
A communion with God

      G
For I feel though art near

          D7
And where e’er I may be

         D7
That the spirit of love

        G
Watches me
[Instrumental] G D G G D G [Verse 3]
        G
Oft the birds in the bower

       D7
Now companions I make

      D7
Every simple wild flower

                G
I prize for the sake

     G
Deep woods and dark clouds

      D7
Can a pleasure impart

        D7
For the solitude

              G
Suits my poor heart
[Instrumental] G D G G D G [Verse 4]
           G
Though art gone from a gage

      D7
And I will not repine

     D7
Here lonely shall meet

     G
In a home that is thine

      G
For I feel though art near

          D7
And where e’er I may be

         D7
That the spirit of love

        G
Watches me
