'Twas on a sweet morning,
When violets were a-springing,
O The dew the meadows adorning,
The larks melodious singing,
O The rose-trees, by each breeze,
Were gently wafted up and down,
And the primrose, that there grows,
Bespangled nature's verdant gown.
The purling rill, the murmuring stream,
Stole gently through the lofty grove:
Such were the hours when Darbystole
Out to meet his barefoot love.
