Down yonder green valley, where streamlets meander, When twilight is fading I pensively rove, Or at the bright noontide in solitude wander Amid the dark shades of the lonely ash grove. 'Twas there, while the blackbird was cheerfully singing, I first met my 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, oh, tell me, where is the sweet maiden? "She sleeps, 'neath the green turf down by the ash grove."
