By the stream so cool and clear
Language: English
By the stream so cool and clear,
And thro' the caves where breezes languish,
Soothing still my tender anguish,
Hoping still to find my lover,
I have wander'd far and near,
O where shall I the youth discover!
Sleeps he in your breezy shade,
Ye rocks with moss and ivy waving,
On some bank where wild waves laving,
Murmur thro' the twisted willow;
On that bank, O were I laid,
How soft should be my lover's pillow!
GLOSSARY
Laving = lashing
