[00:06.444]Down yonder green valley, where streamlets meander,
[00:14.462]When twilight is fading I pensively rove,
[00:21.729]Or at the bright noontide in solitude wander
[00:30.202]Amid the dark shades of the lonely ash grove.
[00:37.732]'Twas there, while the blackbird was cheerfully singing,
[00:45.255]I first met my dear one, the joy of my heart!
[00:53.283]Around us for gladness the bluebells were ringing,
[01:01.485]Ah! then little thought I how soon we should part.
[01:10.251]✿
[01:17.763]Still glows the bright sunshine o'er valley and mountain,
[01:25.711]Still warbles the blackbird its note from the tree;
[01:32.973]Still trembles the moonbeam on streamlet and fountain,
[01:41.499]But what are the beauties of nature to me?
[01:49.522]With sorrow, deep sorrow, my bosom is laden,
[01:57.296]All day I go mourning in search of my love;
[02:06.073]Ye echoes, oh, tell me, where is the sweet maiden?
[02:14.360]"She sleeps, 'neath the green turf down by the ash grove."
