Broadside ballad entitled 'Meet Me by Moonlight Alone'

Transcription

MEET ME BY MOONLIGHT
ALONE.

PRICE ONE PENNY.

Copies of this Popular song, can always be had at the Poet's Box,
OVEGATE, DUNDEE.

Meet me by moonlight alone,
And then I will tell you a tale,
Must be told by the moonlight alone,
In the grove at the end of the vale.
You must promise to come, for I said
I would show the night flowers their queen;
Nay, turn not away thy sweet head,
'Tis the loveliest ever was seen.
O meet me by moonlight alone.

Daylight may do for the gay,
The, thoughtless, the heartless, the free;
But there's something about the moon's ray;
That is sweeter to you and to me.
Oh! remember, be sure to be there,
For tho' dearly the moonlight I prize,
I care not for all in the air,
If I want the sweet light of your eyes.
O meet me by moonlight alone.
