1Where grow the willows near the eastern gate,
And ’neath their leafy shade we could recline,
She said at evening she would me await,
And brightly now I see the day star shine!
And ’neath their leafy shade we could recline,
She said at evening she would me await,
And brightly now I see the day star shine!
2Here where the willows near the eastern gate
Grow, and their dense leaves make a shady gloom,
She said at evening she would me await.
See now the morning star the sky illume!
