¶Lyrics / Text

We sat beside the clover, That grew the high cliff over, My pretty Maud and I; The bright sun shining o’er us, The broad blue sea before us, And the white ships sailing by: The silver wavelets’ murmur Was the only sound we heard, Except the loud upsoaring voice Of Heav’n’s melodious bird; And the bees’ hum ’mongst the clover, That grew the high cliff over, The breeze came softly, softly, And scarce the grasses stirr’d. We sat beside the clover, And did our love discover, My pretty Maud and I; The bright sun shining o’er us, The broad blue sea before us, And the white ships sailing by: The silver wavelets’ murmur Was a pleasant sound to hear, But the accents of a new told love, To me were far more dear; And we breath’d our vows of constancy, With the summer sea so near, And the summer flow’rs so beautiful, And the summer sky so clear.
