Jeanie with the light brown hair |
I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair, |
Borne, like a vapor, on the summer air; |
I see her tripping where the bright streams play, |
Happy as the daisies that dance on her way. |
Many were the wild notes her merry voice would pour, |
Many were the blithe birds that warbled them o’er: |
Oh! |
I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair, |
Floating, like a vapor, on the soft summer air. |
I long for Jeanie with the daydawn smile, |
Radiant in gladness, warm with winning guile; |
I hear her melodies, like joys gone by, |
Sighing round my heart o’er the fond hopes that die: |
Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain, |
Wailing for the lost one that comes not again: |
Oh! |
I long for Jeanie, and my heart bows low, |
Never more to find her where the bright waters flow. |
I sigh for Jeanie, but her light form strayed |
Far from the fond hearts round her native glade; |
Her smiles have vanished and her sweet songs flown, |
Flitting like the dreams that have cheered us and gone. |
Now the nodding wild flowers may wither on the shore |
While her gentle fingers will cull them no more: |
Oh! |
I sigh for Jeanie with the light brown hair, |
Floating, like a vapor, on the soft summer air. |
