Lyrics
The lyrics as published:
Out of my lodge at eventide,'Mong the sobbing pine,Footsteps echo by my side,A spirit face, a sign.Twilight skies are all alightAcross the deep lagoon.A face is breaking through the night,My Indian {maid} {brave}, Pale Moon.Speak to thy love forsaken,Thy spirit mantle throw.Ere thou the great white dawn awaken'And to the sea thou swingest low,Then to the west,I'll follow across the deep lagoon,Swift as a flying arrow,To thy abode, Pale Moon.References
