My starlight, my moonlight, my midnight, my noonlight next hit , Unveil not, unveil not! or millions must pine. Ah, didst thou lay bare those dark tresses of thine, Even night would seem bright To the hue of thy hair, Which is black as despair! My starlight, my moonlight, my midnight, my noonlight, Unveil not, unveil not! or millions must pine. Ah, didst thou disclose those bright features of thine, The Red Vale would look pale By thy cheek which so glows That it shames the rich rose! My starlight, my moonlight, my midnight, my noonlight, Unveil not, unveil not! or millions must pine. Ah, didst thou lay bare that white bosom of thine, The bright sun would grow dim Nigh a rival so rare And so radiantly fair! My starlight, my moonlight, my midnight, my noonlight . Unveil not!
