We three

Deep hid in shady valley,

All fresh with morning dew,

Where tinkling stremlets dally,

Young Love espied us two;

"Why wait ye?" said he smiling,

"Arise! your pinions try!"

We laugh'd, our way beguiling,

Young Love and you and I.

Thus tripping at his side,

'Mid song and dance and flow'rs,

We fared thro' the world so wide,

Life full of happy hours.

And still I sang with heart so light,

Gaily as we went by:

"We'll find the Land of Heart's Delight,

Young Love and you and I!"

The highest peaks are glowing,

The lowliest vale's alight

Thy happy eyes o'erflowing,

As sunbeams shine so bright!

The lark in circles winging

Strives upward to the sky,

And tender songs we're singing,

Young Love and you and I!"
