Our RIue-Eyed Nav.


When rambling by the meadow brook
Our hearts We're ever gay;
Yet twas not strange, for US then,
Was pretty blue-eyed May.
Her heart was light, and light her step,
As either Grace or Fay;
And all who knew her loved her WELL
Our darling blue-eyed May.
She loved the birds, the buds and flowers,
And was happy all the day;
For she was always good ano kind,
Oar loving little May,
She loved the gentle breeze of Spring
That drove winter far away;
And loved the water gushing clear,
Our happy rustic May.
But she has left this world of care,
And rarely gay;
For now to chase the clouds away,
We have no loving May.
