OUT OF THE EAST
(Jean Havez / Joe Rosey,  1918)



Pale moon in the Eastern sky 
Look down where Arabs lie 
Smile down on the cavalcade 
Wake not little dark eyed maid 
Dreaming of a Prince so bold 
High up on a throne of gold 
Singing in a vision rare 
Pleading to his dream love fair

Far far from the desert sands 
Yonder in the vineyard lands 
There dear is the place we'll go 
There dear where the breezes blow
Palm trees wave a welcome dear 
Swaying in the sunlight clear
Blue skies with an opal glow 
Calling bid us gently go

Oriental maiden 
Be my jewel laden 
Princess all array'd in glory
Dream of love's sweet longing 
Tender fancies thronging 
Told in royal song and story 
See the Sphinx beguiling 
Pyramids are smiling 
To my sweet heart while in slumber 
All the sentimental
All the Oriental 
Dreams are born 
Out of the East.
