Sung by Mr. C. W. Bernard
In a valley fair I wandered,—
O’er its meadows pathways green,
Where ripling brook was flowing,
Like the spirit of the scene,
Isaw a lovely maiden— ,
With a basket brimming efer,"
With sweet buds, and so I asked her,
For a flower, and nothing more. .

_ And | praised her hair and eyes, _ 4
‘And like roses in her basket, ==?
_ On her cheek saw blushes rise; st
Wiih timid looks down glancing, ==
She said, will yon pass before,
But, said I, now all | want, = =
is just a smile, and nothing more ¬
do she shyly smiled upon me, =
And we still kept wand’ring on;
What withsmilling, blushing, chatting 7
Soon a brief half hour was gone; =i
Thea she told me I must leave ner, _ a
For she saw the cottage door ;— eer 1
