SONG
[Meet me in the primrose lane]
1
Meet me in the primrose laneWhen moonlight lives above thee
I'll kiss thy rosey face again
And everlasting love thee
2
Meet me where white clover growsIn the dewy grass love
Meet me where white roses blows
And brooks run clear as glass love
3
In the evening I intreat theeWhen the dew is on the breere
Down the lane o' woodbines meet me
While the brook is running clear
4
While the round moon shines so brightlyAnd the diamond star o' even
O'er the lime trees shineth nightly
Making earth a lovers heaven
683
5
Among the short white blossom'd cloverNeath the ash trees shadows there
While the clouds the moon flies over
Let me meet my angel fair
6
Kiss good night—and ease my bosomRest my hope in slumbers then
While the dew drop pearls the blossom
And silence sleeps about the glen—
