A song from o'er the hill
Language: English
A song came over the hill to me Ever so long ago, A sweet and haunting melody That set my heart aglow, In olden days, In golden days, The days of long ago. Gone is the singer but yet the song Still floats across the hill, In every breeze that sweeps along I think I hear it still Thro’ lonely years, Thro all my tears, The song from over the hill.
