John Hill Hewitt piosenki

1. How oft in the distance, a lone star I see, So pensively gazing upon the red morn; Its fast-fading splendor then brings back to me, Sad mem'ries of days that are faded and gone. [REFRAIN] Sad mem'ries of love! Sweet mem'ries of love, That fall on the heart...

1. Sing a song of the days that have fled, Shed a tear o’er the grave of the past; Give a sigh for the friends that are dead, Who were loving and true to the last. Through life’s dreary pathway a rover, By sorrows and crosses oppressed. There’s no rest for th...

1. 'Twas a calm and moonlight evening, When we met down on the shore; And the gentle surf kept whisp'ring The name of Minnie Moore. The zephyrs kiss'd her tresses, And fann'd her glowing cheek, While we walk'd the land together, Each trying hard to spea...

1. The minstrel's return'd from the war, With spirits as body and as air; And then on his tuneful guitar, He sings in the bow'r of his fair, He sings in the bow'r of his fair; The music of the battle is over, The bugle no more calls to arms, A soldier no more,...

Miss Bodkin’s hair is red. Her nose is pimple hue, And when she goes to bed, From head to foot she’s blue. Her eyes are black and bright. But she is rather green; Her hands are lily white; She says she’s sweet sixteen. 

1. Twilight sheds its glimering ray, On mountain peak afar; In the mist of dying day, Behold the verper star. Silent up the eastern sky, Asray'd in beams of silverywhite; [REFRAIN] Oh! gentle moon, we welcome thee, Fair princess of the night. 2. Woods and...

1. [She] Oh! Mister Snibbs, you cruel man! Where have you been all day? You know that I'm quite indisposed, Where have you been I pray? [He] My dearest love, now don't be cross. At Miss Smith's I tarried; You know she's such a friend of ours, And three times h...

RECITAVIVO My beauteous child! sweet mountain flow'r! Bright sunbeam in a darksome hour, Why first come forth to greet thy sire, With tuneful song and youthful choir? Know ye, I've made a holy vow To God, if vict'ry crown'd my brow; To slay the first that on m...

1. My heart’s with thee, my heart’s with thee; Wheree’er my wand’ring foot steps go, My heart’s with thee, my heart’s with thee, O’er many fields or treach’rous sea; When waves dash high and wild winds blow, Still must its deepest pulses glow, My heart’...

1. My bark has plow’d the stormy sea, And borne me far away; My soul was dark, I thought of thee, My own­­ my dearest May. In foreign lands I heard the song Of birds and rippling rills; They only made my spirit long For my home among the hills, My home among...

1. My love she was a bonnie lassie, I loo’d her frae her moither’s knee Oh! she was e’en sae gude an’ kind, I thought that she loo’d me. We twa children were together, An’ our hearts sae fu’ o’ glee; But now minewi’ sorrow sickens, My love’s nae true to me. B...

1. Have you ever seen the high blue mountain, In old Virginia state? There 'mid dark rocks and chrystal fountains, Dwells my lovely Kate. She's the darling of all those that know her, And proud will beat my heart When the good old folks on me bestow her Never...

1. My southern home, where skies are bright, And balmy winds are blowing, Though exiled, still my heart is thine, And tears for thee are flowing. A friendly refugee alone, Thro’ stranger lands I wander, And sadly beats my patriot heart When o’er thy fat...

1. O have you seen my spanish lady, The dark eyed and blushing? Her lips are ever gently smiling, And sweets from them gushing. She strikes the trembling mandolina, And sings the song I love to hear; And when she dances the Getina, Oh, ev'ry step to me is dear...

1. Oh give me the mountains Where in childhood I rov'd; The streamlet and fountains, That my young fancy lov'd, The cottage where daily, Joy's smile might be seen, The throng that danced gaily To the sweet mandolin. 2. I've rode the wild billow, When the temp...

1. Oh! have I not been true to thee; In joy and sorrow still the same? Has e’en your coldness alter’d me, Or sterness check’d my bosom’s flame? Thou’st bid me hush my plaintive song, And still my lute’s wild melody; Yet, yet its strain will float along,...

1. Oh! mount thy bright and gallant steed, My warrior boy, the foe is near; Greece calls thee in the time of need; Then why inglorious tarry here? Say, can I love thee half so well, As when oft to the battle cry, How proud I saw thy bosom swell, Or mark’d the...

1. Oh! soon return, my hours are lonely, When thou't gone from me, My bosom beats fro thee, thee only, Fond and fervently. Can't I e'er forget, love; How in you we met love; When moonbeams bright illumed the night, And sparkled on the sea. 2. Oh! soon return,...

1. Oh! while adown life's stream we glide, In sunshine’s smiles or wintry weather; Still, let us journey side by side, And sweetly live and love together. Lock’s in each others fond embrace, Though dark and dismal clouds hang o'er us, With hearts united we may...

1. Oh, come to me love, in a beautiful dream, When fairies are kissing the waves of the stream, And laughing 'mid moonbeams that gladden the night. They sport round a dew drop so sparkling and bright. The harp of the winds shall awaken its strain. The hollow s...
