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.
