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