I’ve Been Roaming. From “Lilian of the Vale.”
I
’ve 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!
