Quotes Meet me by moonlight alone,And then I will tell you a taleMust be told by the moonlight alone,In the grove at the end of the vale!You must promise to come, for I saidI would show the night-flowers their queen.Nay, turn not away that sweet head,'T is the loveliest ever was seen. Meet me by Moonlight, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919). 'T were vain to tell thee all I feel,Or say for thee I'd die.Ah, well-a-day, the sweetest melodyCould never, never say, one half my love for thee. 'T were vain to tell, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919). External links Category:1845 deaths Category:Composers from Ireland Category:Conductors from Ireland
