Meredith Publications (A0.843758). This is the fifth of six songs from the Song Cycle Byron Songs based on poems of Lord Byron's collection of poems entitled Hebrew Melodies.It is the hour TEXT It is the hour when from the boughsĀ Ā The nightingale's high note is heard-It is the hour-when lovers' vowsĀ Ā Seem sweet in every whisper'd word-And gentle winds and waters nearMake music to the lonely ear.Each flower the dews have lightly wet,And in the sky the stars are met:And on the wave is deeper blue,And on the leaf a browner hue-And in the Heaven, that clear obscureSo softly dark-and darkly pure,That follows the decline of dayAs twilight melts beneath the moon away.
