LOVE'S STORY TOLD. Copyright, 1893, by M. Josie O'Halloran. Words and Music by M. Josie O'Halloran. 
The moon was shining bright, love, I met you with a smile; I had something dear to tell you while sitting on the stile. The stream flowed on in silence, love, and no one near to bear; 'Twas then the secret of my heart I whispered in your ear; 'Twas not about the little stars, 'twas not about the moon; 'Twas not about the babbling brook that flowed in sweet attune; Twas then I told her of my love and melody divine; It came in music from her lips, when she promised to be mine. 
The moon is bright to-night, love, meet me with a smile; I've something dear to tell you while sitting on the stile. I'll meet you as before, love, in yonder shady glen, And kisses that I borrowed I'll then return again -Those words I to my sweetheart said in golden days gone by; She met me as she promised then, we were happy, she und I; The stream flowed on in silence, with no one near to hear, And then the secret of my love I whispered in her ear.
