Words by Clifton Bingham<br /> <br />Music by H. Trotere<br /><br />Long years ago, in old Madrid,<br />Where softly sighs of love the light guitar,<br />Two sparkling eyes a lattice hid,<br />Two eyes as darkly bright as love's own star!<br />There on the casement ledge when day was o'er,<br />A tiny hand was lightly laid;<br />A face look'd out, as from the river shore,<br />There stole a tender serenade!<br />Rang the lover's happy song<br />Light and low from shore to shore,<br />But ah! the river flow'd along<br />Between them evermore!<br /><br />Come, my love, the stars are shining,<br />Time is flying,<br />Love is sighing,<br />Come, for thee a heart is pining,
