Hemlocks And Primroses

A D E A A Thinking of you while out for a ramble D E A Down by a cold frosty stream A Set down on a bed of hemlocks and primroses D E A And gently I fell into a dream A I dreamed I saw a pretty fair maiden D E A Such beauty I’d never saw before A Her dress was bound round with hemlocks and primroses D E A So green was the mantel she wore A D E A A Her hair was of a dark brown color D E A Her teeth was as ivory so white A Her eyes they shined like sparking diamonds D E A Or stars than shine on a cold frosty night A I drew her near then I awakened D E A With two empty arms and you on my mind A Heaven seemed so near while I was dreaming D E A It hurts to know you left me behind
