W: Lyrics by Thomas Oliphant (Scotland, 1799–1873):
W:
W: 1. Down yonder green valley, where streamlets meander,
W: When twilight is fading I pensively rove,
W: Or at the bright noontide in solitude wander
W: Amid the dark shades of the lonely ash grove.
W: 'Twas there, while the blackbird was cheerfully singing,
W: I first met my dear one, the joy of my heart!
W: Around us for gladness the bluebells were ringing,
W: Ah! then little thought I how soon we should part.
W:
W: 2. Still glows the bright sunshine o'er valley and mountain,
W: Still warbles the blackbird its note from the tree;
W: Still trembles the moonbeam on streamlet and fountain,
W: But what are the beauties of nature to me?
W: With sorrow, deep sorrow, my bosom is laden,
W: All day I go mourning in search of my love;
W: Ye echoes, oh, tell me, where is the sweet maiden?
W: "She sleeps, 'neath the green turf down by the ash grove."
