Annie of the Vale

Music By J. R. Thomas, Words by G. P. Morris





The young stars are glowing,
Their clear light bestowing!
Their radiance fills the calm, clear Summer night!
Come forth, like a fairy,
So blithesome and airy,
And ramble in their soft and mystic light!

Chorus:
Come, come, come, Love, come!
Come, ere the night-torches pale!
Oh! come in thy beauty,
Thou marvel of duty,
Dear Annie, dear Annie of the Vale!

The world we inherit,
Is charmed by thy spirit,
As radiant as the mild, warm Summer ray!
The watch-dog is snarling,
For fear, Annie darling,
His beautiful young friend I'd steal away!

Chorus:
