I'm thinking of sweet Lena Clare,
With deep blue eyes and waving hair,
Her voice is soft, her face is fair
My gentle Lena Clare.
CHORUS:
 Gentle Lena Clare,
 My dear lov'd Lena Clare --
 Her heart is light, her eyes are bright,
 My gentle Lena Clare.

I love her careless winning ways,
I love her wild and bird-like lays,
I love the grass whereon she strays
My gentle Lena Clare.
(CHORUS)

Her home is in the shady glen,
When summer comes I'll seek again,
On mountain height and lowland plain;
My gentle Lena Clare.
(CHORUS)
