innocent young ladies with the pretty COM

Over the valley and over the plain, .
Over the rosebud that drinketh the rain.
Over The moonbeam, yes, over the sun,
Dweileth the spirit Of my Lost one.
Brighter than gems, was her sparkling eye,
More beautiful far than the blae of the sky:
Softer than music, the sound Of her voice,
Dearer to me, for she was my choice.
Memory oftsn brings back to my view,
The form that was always loving and true
Love is still bliss, to the heart that is riren
For my lost one, now dwelleth in heaven,
