Miniatures ; Five encore songs

Song Cycle by Mary Helen Brown (c1865 - 1937)

1. Peggy
 (Sung text)

Language: English 
Peggy! Peggy! dearest Peggy!
In her dainty frock of pink;
Such ribbands, such rose buds,
Just the sweetest thing, I think!

But she has so many laddies
Paying court from day to day;
If I too should ask to wed her,
What would she say?

5. Rose Dreamed She Was a Lily  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
Rose dream'd she was a lily,
Lily dream'd she was a rose;
Robin dream'd he was a sparrow,
What the owl dream'd no one knows.

But they all woke up together,
As happy as could be;
Said each one "You're lovely, neighbor,
But I'm very, very glad I'm me."
