Lyrics:
Her hair was like the beaten gold,
Or like the spider spinning;
It was in her you might behold
My joys and woes beginning.

Her eyes were like the diamond bright,
Her form was like – was like the fairy
That flits across the woods at night,
And such was gentle Mary.

The dewy azure of her eyes
Was like a sunbeam glancing;
It thrill'd my soul with tender love
To see her smile entrancing.

Alas! inconstant as the breeze
That kisses ev'ry, ev'ry flower,
She frown'd on me, and now I dare
Not e'en approach her bower.
