the flowery banks of cree(1 / 2)

the flowery banks of cree

here is the glen, and here the bower

all underneath the birchen shade;

the vige-bell has told the hour,

o what can stay my lovely maid?

'tis not maria's whispering call;

'tis but the balmy breathing gale,

mixt with some warbler's dying fall,

the dewy star of eve to hail.
