## The words

The dew upon the lily, The blush upon the  
rose, Has no more rare and tender charm Than  
round thy presence grows. There’s music in the  
meadow, There’s rapture in the air,  
When through the throng of whisp’ring flowers,  
the throng of whisp’ring flowers Thy dainty  
feet repair.  
The hawthorn waves above thee, The violet  
peeps below, And ev’ry bloom sheds rich  
perfume Like incense where you go.  
I wait where, ’neath the alder, Two wand’ring  
brooklets meet; Oh! Come my Queen of love and  
joy, my Queen of love and joy, And make the  
Spring complete complete.
