Charles Gounod - Oh! that we two were Maying
00
Copied!
Oh! that we two were Maying
Down the stream of the soft spring breeze;
Like children with violets playing
In the shade of the whisp'ring trees
Oh! that we two sat dreaming
On the sward of the sheep-trimm'd down
Watching the white mist streaming
O'er river, and mead, and town
Oh! that we two lay sleeping
In our nest in the churchyard sod
With our limbs at rest on the quiet earth's breast
And our souls at home with God
Down the stream of the soft spring breeze;
Like children with violets playing
In the shade of the whisp'ring trees
Oh! that we two sat dreaming
On the sward of the sheep-trimm'd down
Watching the white mist streaming
O'er river, and mead, and town
Oh! that we two lay sleeping
In our nest in the churchyard sod
With our limbs at rest on the quiet earth's breast
And our souls at home with God
