[Cover page: "Good Night, and Pleasant Dreams"] [Title page:] "Good Night and Pleasant Dreams" (19 Sep 1855) Tyrolien Words by Anson G. Chester [Music by] Composed by William Vincent Wallace, 1812-1865 New York: William Hall & Son, 239 Broadway Plate No. 3352 Engraver: Ben Marcato [Source: 571550@LoC] 1. When on its couch of rosy clouds The burning sun has sunk to rest And tired of song, the woodland bird Is sleeping in its quiet nest, When evening lays its misty hand On dewy flow'rs and prattling streams, How sweet to hear from lips we love: Good night! good night and pleasant dreams! 2. O, bitter is the exile's fate Who wanders from his peaceful cot, No gentle wish, or soothing word Can mingle in his lonely lot. On some still bank of moss and flow'rs, Beneath the star's inconstant beams, He rests alone, with none to breathe: Good night! Good night and pleasant dreams!
