I know how the great and golden sunWill come up out of the sea,Stride in to shoreAnd up to her door,To touch her hand and her hair,With so much more than a man can say,Bidding Yvonne good day.
I know how the great and quiet moonWill come up out of the sea,And climb the hillTo her window-sillAnd enter all silently,And lie on her little cot so white,Kissing Yvonne good night.

I know how the great and countless starsWill come up out of the sea,To keep their guardBy her still dooryard,Lest the soul of Yvonne should strayAnd be lost for ever there by the deep,In the wonderful hills of sleep.
