Songs from ‘An Island in The Moon’

VIII. As I walk’d forth one May morning


AS 1 I walk’d forth one May morning
To see the fields so pleasant and so gay,
O! there did I spy a young maiden sweet,
Among the violets that smell so sweet,
smell so sweet,	5
smell so sweet,
Among the violets that smell so sweet.
