I've been roaming
Language: English
I've been roaming, I've been roaming Where the meadow dew is sweet, And I'm coming, and I'm coming With its pearls upon my feet. I've been roaming, I've been roaming O'er the rose and lily fair, And I'm coming, and I'm coming With their blossoms in my hair. I've been roaming, I've been roaming Where the honeysuckle creeps, And I'm coming, and I'm coming With its kisses on my lips. I've been roaming, I've been roaming Over hill and over plain, And I'm coming, and I'm coming To my bower back again.
