How Sweet The Answer

How sweet the answer

How sweet the answer echo makes
To music at night
When rous'd by lute or horn she wakes and faw away
O'er lawns and lakes
Goes answering light

Yet love hath echoes truer far
And far more sweet
Then e'er beneath the moonlight's star
Of horn, or lute or soft guitar
The songs repeat

Tis when the sigh in youth sincere
And only then
The sigh that's breath'd for one to hear
Is by that one, that only dear
Breath'd back again
Again, Again, Again, Again, Again...
