Lyrics
On the lake where drooped the willow
Long time ago
Where the rock threw back the billow
Brighter than snow
Dwelt a maid beloved and cherished
By high and low
But with autumn leaf she perished
Long time ago
Rock and tree and flowing water
Long time ago
Bird and bee and blossom taught her
Love's spell to know
While to my fond words she listened
Murmuring low
Tenderly her blue eyes glistened
Long time ago
