Once upon time maiden
Sat beneath a hawthorn tree,
!. And her loyersclose beside her,
Murmufed VOWS of constancy.
Fairer, sweeter than the blossom
Hanging over her, was she;
And heart within her bosom
Throbbed and glowed tunlu,tuously.

Neither rich, the story goes,
NJ was proud and Pa was mulish,
Great theirlove and great their woes.
So they kissed and wept and parted,
