FLOW, GENTLE STREAMLET.
Flow, gentle streamlet, brightly and clear,
Sweet be thy music, spring time is near;
Primrose and harebell wake from their dream—
Murmur in gladness, thou lovely stream.
Sweet be thy music, spring time is near;
Primrose and harebell wake from their dream—
Murmur in gladness, thou lovely stream.
Soft from the mountain light breezes blow,
Pure is the fountain—sparkling its flow;
Greenwood and valley all blossom gay—
Fairest of streamlets, murmur away!
Pure is the fountain—sparkling its flow;
Greenwood and valley all blossom gay—
Fairest of streamlets, murmur away!
Summer in sunshine comes from its bowers,
Welcomed with music, followed by flowers,
Mantled in robe of verdant array—
Fairest of streamlets, murmur away!
Welcomed with music, followed by flowers,
Mantled in robe of verdant array—
Fairest of streamlets, murmur away!
