Show me where the bluebells grow,
In shadowed valleys and tangled dells:
Sweet-scented treasure scattered by
Mossed paths tempered with frost and rays.
Hold me where the cold becks flow,
Through green meadows and barren hills:
Gossiping rivers winding by
Old fields swaying with wheat and hay.
Miss me when the swallows go,
In sun-bronzed skies above the fells:
High-wheeling dancers carried on
Fresh winds promising warmer leys.
Love me when the embers glow,
As the fire dies and the night stills;
Our unspoken thoughts drifting on
Blue smoke wreathes, bidding sweet dreams stay.
