Sung by Tare, Hebblethwaite, Steward, and Mrs. Mac Motherly

MIDI Icon MIDI File 18K, 2 min. 56 seconds.

All.  
  We fly, we fly to fields of fancy,
Achieve our mystic flight,
By Nature's necromancy,
Good night! good night!

Mrs. Mac., Hebble., and Steward:
  By gentle Luna's light, by gentle Luna's light,

All.  
  By gentle Luna's light,
Good night, good night!

Mrs. Mac.:  
  No passing breath of sorrow

Hebble.:  
  Shall cloud our visions bright;

Hebble. and Tare:
  We meet again to-morrow.

Tare and Steward:
  Good-night! good-night.

Mrs. Mac. and Hebble:
  No passing breath of sorrow shall dim our visions bright,

All:
  We meet again tomorrow,
Good night, we meet again tomorrow,
Good night
We meet, we meet again tomorrow,
We fly we fly to fields of fancy.
Achieve our mystic flight by Nature's necromancy,
Good night, good night
But though we wing our flight
We meet again tomorrow
We meet again tomorrow,
Good night! Good night! Good night!

Mrs. Mac., Hebble., and Tare:
  We meet again

All:
    tomorrow
Good night! Good night!

Exeunt as the stage grows dark.
