My favorite is "When Shadows Fall (O'er The Canyon Wall)", by a lyricist whose name, if I remember right, was Applegarth: When shadows fall O'er the canyon wall And night birds call In the pine trees tall, The moonbeams bright From the god of night Come softly gleaming and beaming Where lovely maids sit dreaming, Whisp'ring, "Lo, 'tis time for mating, Don't be slow, thy love is waiting, Haste oh haste, no time to waste, Fond hearts are burning with yearning for thee."
