1. Thy bow’r is fin - ished, fair - est! Fit bow’r for hun - ters bride,
2. For thee the wild-grape glist - ens On sun - ny knoll and tree,
3. Come, thou hast not for - got - ten Thy pledge and prom-ise quite,
Where old woods o - ver - shad - ow The green sa - van - na’s side.
The slim pa - pa - ya ri - pens Its yel - low fruit for thee.
With ma - ny blushes mur - mered. Be - neath the even - ins light.
I've wan- der'd long, and wandered far, And nev - er have I met, . .
For thee the duck, on glass-y stream, The prai - rie-f owl shall die; . .
Then come, the vio - lets crowd my door, Thy ear - liest look to win, . .
