Heigh ho to sleep I vainly try	A
Since twelve I haven't closed an eye	A
And now it's three and as I lie	A
From Notre Dame to St Denis	B
The bells of Paris chime to me	C
You're young they say and strong and free	C
	-
I do not turn with sighs and groans	D
To ease my limbs to rest my bones	D
As if my bed were stuffed with stones	D
No peevish murmur tips my tongue	E
Ah no for every sound upflung	E
Says Lad you're free and strong and young	E
	-
And so beneath the sheet's caress	F
My body purrs with happiness	G
Joy bubbles in my veins Ah yes	F
My very blood that leaps along	E
Is chiming in a joyous song	E
Because I'm young and free and strong	E
	-
Maybe it is the springtide I am so happy I am afraid	H
The sense of living fills me with exultation I want to sing	E
to dance I am dithyrambic with delight	I
	-
I think the moon must be to blame	J
It fills the room with fairy flame	J
It paints the wall it seems to pour	K
A dappled flood upon the floor	K
I rise and through the window stare	L
Ye gods how marvelously fair	L
From Montrouge to the Martyr's Hill	M
A silver city rapt and still	M
Dim drowsy deeps of opal haze	N
And spire and dome in diamond blaze	N
The little lisping leaves of spring	E
Like sequins softly glimmering	E
Each roof a plaque of argent sheen	O
A gauzy gulf the space between	O
Each chimney top a thing of grace	P
Where merry moonbeams prank and chase	P
And all that sordid was and mean	O
Just Beauty deathless and serene	O
	-
O magic city of a dream	Q
From glory unto glory gleam	Q
And I will gaze and pity those	R
Who on their pillows drowse and doze	R
And as I've nothing else to do	S
Of tea I'll make a rousing brew	S
And coax my pipes until they croon	T
And chant a ditty to the moon	T
	-
There my tea is black and strong Inspiration comes with	U
every sip Now for the moon	T
	-
The moon peeped out behind the hill	M
As yellow as an apricot	V
Then up and up it climbed until	M
Into the sky it fairly got	V
The sky was vast and violet	W
The poor moon seemed to faint in fright	I
And pale it grew and paler yet	X
Like fine old silver rinsed and bright	I
And yet it climbed so bravely on	Y
Until it mounted heaven high	A
Then earthward it serenely shone	Z
A silver sovereign of the sky	A
A bland sultana of the night	I
Surveying realms of lily light	I
