Hemlocks and Primroses Songtext
von Longview

Thinking of you while out for a ramble
Down by a cold frosty stream
Sat down on a bed of hemlocks and primroses
Gently I fell into a dream


I dreamed I saw a pretty fair maiden
Such beauty I′d never saw before
Her dress was bound round with hemlocks and primroses
So green was the mantle she wore

Her hair was of a dark brown color
Her teeth was as ivory so white
Her eyes they shined like sparkling diamonds
Like stars that shine on a cold frosty night

I drew her near, then I awakened
With two empty arms and you on my mind
Heaven seemed so near while I was dreaming
It hurts to know you've left me behind
