Hemlocks and Primroses

Lyrics

Thinking of you while out for a ramble
 Down by a cold frosty stream
 Set down on a bed of hemlocks and primroses
 And gently I fell into a dream
 I dreamed I saw a pretty fair maiden
 Such beauty I'd never saw before
 Her dress was bound round with hemlocks and primroses
 So green was the mantel she wore
 Her hair was of a dark brown color
 Her teeth was as ivory so white
 Her eyes they shined like sparking diamonds
 Or stars than shine on a cold frosty night
 I drew her near then I awakened
 With two empty arms and you on my mind
 Heaven seemed so near while I was dreaming
 It hurts to know you left me behind
