H. F. S. [Music]
1. Within a garden a maiden lingered, / When soft the shades of evening fell, / Expecting, fearing, / A footstep hearing, / Her love appearing, / To say farewell.
2. With sighs and sorrow their vows they plighted / One more embrace, one last adieu; / Tho' seas divide, love, / In this confide, love, / Whate'er betide, love, / To thee I'm true.
3. Long years are over, and still the maiden / Seeks oft at eve the trysting tree; / Her promise keeping, / And, faithful, weeping, / Her lost love sleeping / Across the sea.
