by Alfred Henry Hyatt (1822? - 1911)

Through a primrose dell
 (Sung text for setting by C. Spross)
 See original
Language: English 
A woodland path through a primrose dell
  Gay with gath'ring green of spring;
And youth with a tale in the heart to tell,
  And a song on the lips to sing,
    Heigh ho,
  With a song on the lips to sing!

That woodland path with its primrose gold
  In the spring year by year is fair,
And the story to tell is again retold,
  For 'tis ever a new one there,
    Heigh ho,
  It is ever a new one there!

Composition:

    Set to music by Charles Gilbert Spross (1874 - 1961), "Through a primrose dell", published 1910 [ voice and piano ]
