The feathers of the willow Are half of them grown yellow Above the swelling stream; And ragged are the bushes, And rusty now the rushes, And wild the clouded gleam, And wild the clouded gleam!

Language: English
The sun upon the lake is low, The wild birds hush their song; The hills have evening's deepest glow, Yet Leonard tarries long, Now all whom varied toil and care From home and love divide, In the calm sunset may repair Each to the loved one's side.

Language: English
Up! for the bugles are calling, Saddle and boot, and away! Sabres are clanking and lances are glancing, The colonel is fuming and horses are prancing, So up with the sabres and lances, Up and away! Up and away! Where are we off to so fast, boys? Saddle and boot, and away! Thunder of hoofs in a rush we go past, In a whirlwind of dust we are gone as a blast, For we're off with the sabres and lances. Off and away! Off and away!
