A Song Of Loves Meeting.
The dew upon the clover,
The gray doves flynn over,
An my heart it was rover.
Till l met you
Where the South wind knew the bliss
Of the curls O. you to kiss.
An his song to you was this:
Hell forget YOU"
Love was sighin'. Love was frettin,'
At my hearts door to be let in;
Twas myself 1 was forgettin'
When l met you.
For your red lips seemed to say:
Not a kiss to give away"
An a. kiss was mine that day
When met you!
An the home-way through the clover
with the starlight sprinkled over
An. what heart could be a rover,
HaviI' met you?
For twas mine that knew to roam
Like the bee that builds the comb,
But your kiss-it called me home
When l met you!
