/ I. When you and I in the hills went Maying, / You and I in the bright May weather, / The birds, that sang on the boughs together, / There in the green of the woods, kept saying / All that my heart was saying low, / "I love you! love you! " soft and low, -- / And did you know? / When you and I in the hills went Maying.
/ II. There where the brook on its rocks went winking, / There by its banks where the May had led us, / Flowers, that bloomed in the woods and meadows, / Azure and gold at our feet, kept thinking / All that my soul was thinking there, / "I love you! love you! " softly there -- / And did you care? / There where the brook on its rocks went winking.
