First Verse:

Beneath the light of a bright starry night Sat a lonely little Indian maid.
"No lover's sweet serenade, has ever won me."
As in a dream, it would seem, down a stream, Gaily paddling his tiny canoe,
A chieftain longing to woo, sang her this song:

 

Chorus:

"Your voice is ringing, my Silver Bell.
Under its spell, I've come to tell you of the

Love I am bringing, o'er hill and dell.
Happy will dwell my Silver Bell."
