Gypsy Love Song

1. The birds of the forest are calling for thee And the
shades and the glades are lonely; Summer is there with her blossoms
fair, And you are absent only. No
bird that nests in the green-wood tree But sighs to greet you and
kiss you, All the violets yearn, yearn for your safe return, But
most of all I miss you.
2. The fawn that you tamed has a look in its eyes That doth
say " We are too long parted; " Songs that are trolled by our comrades
old Are not now as they were light hearted. The
wild rose fades in the leafy shades Its ghost will find you and
haunt you, All the friends say come, come to your woodland home, And
most of all I want you.
Slumber on my little gypsy sweetheart, Dream of the field and the
grove, Can you hear me, hear me in that dreamland
Where your fancies rove? Slumber on, my
little gypsy sweetheart, Wild little woodland dove,
Can you hear the song that tells you All my heart's true love?
