Sweet Chance, that led my steps abroad, br Beyond the town, where wild flowers grow -- br A rainbow and a cuckoo, Lord, br How rich and great the times are now! br Know, all ye sheep br And cows, that keep br On staring that I stand so long br In grass that's wet from heavy rain -- br A rainbow and a cuckoo's song br May never come together again; br May never come br This side the tomb.
