TUNE-Original.

Many a night, from the silent deck,
Have I gaz'd on the stars above,
And I've look'd abroad o'er the tranquil sea
Till my heart was filled with love.
Thinking of home, and the dear ones there,
Till I felt the tear-drops flow;
Breathing in silence a fervent pray'r
For the friends of long ago.
Many a night, many a night,
Thinking of home;
Many a night, yes, many a night,
Thinking, thinking of home.

                                                                  
Father and mother, and sister dear,
Come to me in my waking dreams,
And I hear a voice, and I see a face,
That to me like an angel seems.
Did I not give her my parting vow,
While she own'd her love for me?
Spirit of beauty, ah! hear me now,
Thus I sigh upon the sea.
Many a night, &c.
