I'VE BEEN ROAMING, FR. LILIAN OF THE VALE by GEORGE DARLEY


I'\t: been roaming! I've been roaming
Where the meadow dew is sweet,
And like a queen I'm coming
With its pearls upon my feet.


I've been roaming! I've been roaming!
O'er red rose and lily fair,
And like a sylph I'm coming
With their blossoms in my hair.


I've been roaming! I've been roaming!
Where the honeysuckle creeps,
And like a bee I'm coming
With its kisses on my lips.


I've been roaming! I've been roaming!
Over hill and over plain,
And like a bird I'm coming
To my bower back again!
