Aura Lea

[Verse 1]

How's the blackbird in the spring

Near the willow tree

Sat and piped I heard him sing

Sing of Or a lee

Or a lee

Or a lee

[Verse 2]

Made

Made with golden hay

Sunshine came along with thee

And swallows in the air

[Verse 3]

In thy blush

a rose was born

Music when you spake

There lie in azure eye of the morn

Sparklings seem to break

Or a lee

Or a lee

[Verse 4]

Birds of crimson wing

Never song have sung to me

As in that night's sweet spring

Or a lee

the bird may flee

[Verse 5]

The willow's golden hay

Swing through winter fitfully

On the stormy air

Yet if thy blue eyes I see

Bloom will soon depart

For to me sweet Or a lee

Is sunshine through the heart

[Verse 6]

When the mistletoe was green

Midst the winter's snows

Sunshine in thy face was seen

Kissing lips of rose

Or a lee

Or a lee

[Verse 7]

Take my golden ring

Love and light return within

And swallows with the spring
