O light, O light, Burn bright, burn bright, And keep strict watch for me; Some night, some night, My knight, own knight, Will come from o'er the sea. 

O light, O light,

Some night, some night,

My knight, own knight,

 Stars light, stars light, My knight, brave knight, Gone from me o'er the sea; Shine bright, shine bright, Each night, each night, Till he come back to me. 

Stars light, stars light,

Shine bright, shine bright,

Each night, each night,
