The Flowery Banks Of Cree
the flowery banks of cree here is the glen, ahe bower all underh the bir shade; the village-bell has told the hour, o what stay my lovely maid? 'tis not maria's whispering call; 'tis but the balmy breathing gale, mixt with some warbler's dying fall, the dewy star of eve to hail. it is maria's voice i hear; so calls the woodlark in the grove, his little, faithful mate to cheer; at ois musid 'tis love. and art thou e! and art thou true! o wele dear to love and me! a us all our vows renew, along the flowery banks of cree.
