A GOLDEN DAY

I FOUND you and I lost you,
 All on a gleaming day.
The day was filled with sunshine,
 And the land was full of May.

A golden bird was singing
 Its melody divine,
I found you and I loved you,
 And all the world was mine.

I found you and I lost you,
 All on a golden day,
But when I dream of you, dear,
 It is always brimming May.
