Lyrics
The lyrics as published:[1]
- Out of my lodge at eventide,
- 'Mong the sobbing pine,
- Footsteps echo by my side,
- A spirit face, a sign.
- Twilight skies are all alight
- Across 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.
