Do you recall that night in June, Upon the Danube river? We listen'd to a Landler tune, We watch'd the moonbeams quiver. I oft since then have watch'd the moon, But never, love, oh! never, Can I forget that night in June, Adown the Danube river. Our boat kept measure with its oar, The music rose in snatches, From peasants dancing on the shore With boisterous songs and catches. I know not why that Landler rang Through all my soul -- but never Can I forget the songs they sang Adown the Danube river. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DEATH IN THE KITCHEN by THOMAS HOOD ADMONITION [TO A TRAVELLER] by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH PASSED BY by JOHANNA AMBROSIUS A DAY: AN EPISTLE TO JOHN WILKES, OF AYLESBURY, ESQ. by JOHN ARMSTRONG PEARLS OF THE FAITH: 60.
