A SONG

ON a summer's day as I sat by a stream,A dainty maid came by,And she blessed my sight like a rosy dream,And left me there to sigh, to sigh,And left me there to sigh, to sigh.
On another day as I sat by the stream,This maiden paused a while,Then I made me bold as I told my dream,She heard it with a smile, a smile,She heard it with a smile, a smile.
Oh, the months have fled and the autumn's red,The maid no more goes by;For my dream came true and the maid I wed,And now no more I sigh, I sigh,And now no more I sigh.
