Nelly of the Hazel Dell

The Hazel Dell por George Frederick Root.

In the Hazel Dell my dear Nelly's sleeping
Nelly lov'd so long!
And my lonely lonely watch I'm keeping
Nelie lost and gone,
Here in moonling often we have wander'd
Thro' the silent shade
Now where leafy branches drooping downward
Litte Nelly's laid

All alone my watch I'm keeping
In the Hazel Dell
For my darling Nelly's near me sleeping
Nelly, dear, farewell

In the Hazel dell my Nelly's sleeping
Where the flowers wave
And the silent stars are nightly weeping
O'er Nelly's grave
Hopes that once my bosson fondly cheerish'd
Smile no more for me
Ev'y dream of joy alas has perish'd
Nelly dear with thee


All alone my watch I'm keeping
In the Hazel Dell
For my darling Nelly's near me sleeping
Nelly, dear, farewell

Now I'm weary, friendless and forsaken
Watching here alone
Nelly thou no more will fondly cheer me,
With thy loving tone
Yet forever shall thy gentle image
In my mem'ry dwell
And my tears thy lonely grave shall moisten
Nelly, dear, farewell


All alone my watch I'm keeping
In the Hazel Dell
For my darling Nelly's near me sleeping
Nelly, dear, farewell
