Down yonder green valley where streamers meander Where twilight is fading, I can see thee, oh! For ever bright moon-tide in solid wood wonder Her middle-arched shades of her lonely ash grow 'Twas there, while the blackbird was cheerfully singing I first met that clear-wound, the joy of my heart Around us, for gladness, the bluebells were ringing Our then little thought, why, how soon we should part Still glows the bright sunshine on the valley and mountain Still marbles the blackbird, its heart on the tree Still trembles the moon beams of sleep-bed and fountain But what other beautiful nature to be With sorrowed exiles I lose all this flavor For there I go mourning, in search of my love The echoes of tell me where is my sweet lady She sleeps behind me tucked up by the ash tree My lips are no more, my heart loses lightness Though dream of the future, my spirit can cheer I only can brood on the past and its brightness The dear ones I long for again gather here From earthly dark moon-blade, where swallows will meet me I lift up my eyes to the broad leaf below And others are there looking downward to greet me The ash-grove, the ash-grove again is my home
