¶Liedtext

We sat by the river, you and I, In the sweet summer time long ago; So smoothly the water glided by, Making music in its tranquil flow; We threw two leaflets, you and I, To the river as it wandered on, And one was rent and left to die And the other floated forward all alone; And oh! we were saddened, you and I, For we felt that our youth’s golden dream Might fade and our lives be severed soon, As the two leaves were parted in the stream. ’Tis years since we parted, you and I, In that sweet summer time long ago; And I smile as I pass the river by, And I gaze into the shadow depths below; I look on the grass and bending reeds, And I listen to the soothing song, And I envy the calm and happy life Of the river as it sings and flows along; For oh! how its song brings back to me The shade of our youth’s golden dream In the days ere we parted, you and I, As the two leaves were parted on the stream.
