A song

Language: English

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.
