## The words

She sat and sang alway By the green margin of  
a stream, Watching the fishes leap and play  
Beneath the glad sunbeam.  
I sat and wept alway 'Neath the moon's most  
shad'wy beam, Watching the blossoms of the  
May Weep leaves, the blossoms weep leaves into  
the stream.  
I wept for memory; She sang for hope that is  
so fair; My tears were swallowed by the sea,  
Her songs died, died on the air.
