How Sweet the Answer lyrics

[Verse 1]
How sweet the answer echo makes
To music at night
When roused by lute or horn, she wakes
And far away, o'er lawns and lakes
Goes answering light

[Verse 2]
Yet love hath echoes truer far
And far more sweet
Then e'er beneath the moonlight's star
Of horn, or lute, or soft guitar
The songs repeat

[Verse 3]
'Tis when the sigh, in youth sincere
And only then
The sigh, that's breathed for one to hear
Is by that one, that only dear
Breathed back again

[Outro]
Again
Again
Again, again, again
