¶Liedtext

She was mild as the summer air, Like the timid dove’s were her eyes; Oh, my child! Oh, my child! So gentle, pure, and fair, Thy heart would break to hear thy mother’s sighs. When I saw thee smile I was glad, But my hours of joy, alas! are o’er— She is gone, She is gone, And this aching heart is sad, For I shall never, never, see her more. Dark and drear is my lonely home For her song is hush’d on the hill, She is gone, She is gone, O’er the stormy seas to roam, And soon this weary heart shall cease to thrill. Ere the summer’s sun shall have smiled She may come rejoicing to our shore, But I feel, But I feel, In parting with my child, That I shall never, never, see her more.
