Oft, in the stilly night

Ere Slumber's chain has bound me

Fond Memory brings the light

Of other days around me

The smiles, the tears

Of boyhood's years

The words of love then spoken

The eyes that shone

Now dimm'd and gone

The cheerful hearts now broken

When I remember all

G D G

The friends, so link'd together

G G7 C

I've seen around me fall

G D G

Like leaves in wintry weather

I feel like one

D G

Who treads alone

Em C D G

Some banquet-hall deserted

Whose lights are fled

D Em

Whose garlands dead

G D G

And all but he departed

[Chorus]

Thus, in the stilly night

G D G

Ere Slumber's chain hath bound me

G G7 C

Sad Memory brings the light

Of other days around me
