ON a summer's day as I sat by a stream, A dainty maid came by, And she blessed my sight like a rosy dream, And left me there to sigh, to sigh, And left me there to sigh, to sigh. On another day as I sat by the stream, This maiden paused a while, Then I made me bold as I told my dream, She heard it with a smile, a smile, She heard it with a smile, a smile. Oh, the months have fled and the autumn's red, The maid no more goes by; For my dream came true and the maid I wed, And now no more I sigh, I sigh, And now no more I sigh. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GRACE AND STRENGTH by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH GOD AND HIS MARTYRS by CHAIM NACHMAN BIALIK IMPULSIVE DIALOGUE by MAXWELL BODENHEIM THE CITY: 1.
