] am sitting on the stile. Mary,
Where we sat side by side.
On the bright May morning long ago,
When first you were my bride.
Ard the corn was springing fresh and green.
And the lark's loud song was high,
And the red was on your cheek, Mary,
And the love light in your eye.
It's but step down yonder lane,
And the little church stands near
The church where We were wed, Mary
/ see the spire from here.
But the graveyard lies between. Mary.
And my steps might break your rest;
Where I laid you down. my Mary,
With your baby on your breast.
The place is little changed. Mary.
And the day as bright then;
And the lark's loud song is in my ear,
And the corn is green again:
And / think see the little stiIe,
Where We sat side by side.
And the springing corn and the bright May

When first you we're my bride.
