Do you recall that night in June, Upon the Danube river? We listen'd to a Landler tune, We watch'd the moonbeams quiver. I oft since then have watch'd the moon, But never, love, oh! never, Can I forget that night in June, Adown the Danube river. Our boat kept measure with its oar, The music rose in snatches, From peasants dancing on the shore With boisterous songs and catches. I know not why that Landler rang Through all my soul -- but never Can I forget the songs they sang Adown the Danube river. |
