1. At night when the shadows are falling,
On the meadow the vale and the stream,
And the nightingale softly is calling,
And nature痴 preparing to dream,
Then darling remember your promise,
I値l wait for you down by the mill,
I値l watch for your coming, so beaten,
When the moon rises over the hill.

CHORUS [sung after each VERSE]
To night when the shadows are falling,
I値l wait for you down by the mill,
I値l watch for your coming so hasten,
When the moon rises over the hill.

2. To night when the whippoorwill痴 calling,
I have something to whisper to you,
探is a secret I long to impart love,
I promise each word shall be true,
I値l kiss you to keep it a secret,
And darling I知 sure that you will,
It only concerns you and I love,
So hasten love down to the mill.
