| |
| Down yonder green valley
| |
| Where streamlets meander
| |
| When twilight is fading
| |
| I pensively rove.
| |
| Or, at the bright noon-tide
| |
| In solitude wander
| |
| Amid the dark shades
| |
| Of the lonely Ash Grove.
| |
| ‘Twas there while the blackbird
| |
| Was cheerfully singing
| |
| I first met that dear one,
| |
| The joy of my heart.
| |
| Around us for gladness
| |
| The bluebells were ringing
| |
| Ah, then little thought I
| |
| How soon we should part.
| |
| | |
| Still glows the bright sunshine
| |
| O’er valley and mountain
| |
| Still warbles the blackbird
| |
| Its note from the tree.
| |
| Still trembles the moonbeam
| |
| On streamlet and fountain
| |
| But what are the beauties
| |
| Of nature to me?
| |
| With sorrow, deep sorrow
| |
| My bosom is laden
| |
| All day I go mourning
| |
| In search of my love.
| |
| Ye echoes, O tell me
| |
| Where sweet is the maiden?
| |
| “She sleeps ‘neath the green turf
| |
| Down by the Ash Grove”.}}
