SONG by YORK SAMPSON

First Line: I SAW THE DAY COME SOFTLY BY
Last Line: I THINK IT SIGHED AS IT LOOKED BACK.
Subject(s): DAY;

I saw the day come softly by
And leave a sunbeam in your eye,
And when with mischief it had done
I saw it linger, loath to run.

I saw a star look keenly down
And plant a jewel on your gown,
And tinkling off upon its track
I think it sighed as it looked back.
