Eulalee, sweet Eulalee,
The years have passed, but still I see
Your laughing eyes 'neath snood of red,
And the bending skies of blue o'erhead.
The partridge calls 'mid the dreamy corn,
For the night dew falls and the shades creep on,
And I say "good night," for the grass is wet,
And your last words are—"I love you yet!"

Eulalee, sweet Eulalee,
The stars now roll 'twixt you and me,
But I see your snood through the milky way,
And your eyes beyond the starry ray.
Your laughter comes with the sunbeams free
And the dews that fall are your tears for me.
And up to heaven, with hot cheeks wet,
I look and hear—"I love you yet!"
