Michael Winikoff - When I heard the learn'd astronomer - ноты, текст песни (слова)

When I heard the learn'd astronomer;	 
 When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me;	 
 When I was shown the charts and the diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them;	 
 When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,	 
 How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick;	  
 Till rising and gliding out, I wander'd off by myself,	 
 In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,	 
 Look'd up in perfect silence at the stars.
