She's Like The Swallow |
She’s like the swallow that flies so high |
She’s like the river that never runs dry |
She’s like the sunshine on the lee shore |
I love my love and love is no more |
'Twas down in the meadow this fair maid bent |
A-picking the primrose just as she went |
The more she picked and the more she pulled |
Until she gathered her apron full |
She climbed on yonder hill above |
To give a rose unto her love |
She gave him one, she gave him three |
She gave her heart for company |
And as they sat on yonder hill |
His heart grew hard, so harder still |
He has two hearts instead of one |
She says, «Young man, what have you done?» |
«How foolish, foolish you must be |
To think I love no one but thee |
The world’s not made for one alone |
I take delight in everyone.» |
She took her roses and made a bed |
A stony pillow for her head |
She lay her down, no more did say |
But let her roses fade away |
She’s like the swallow that flies so high |
She’s like the river that never runs dry |
She’s like the sunshine on the lee shore |
She loves her love but she’ll love no more |
