IN ARCADY.
Once I dwelt in Arcady;
All the land was fair to see;
Blue-eyed maid lived there with me,
In the land of Arcady.

O the land of Arcady!
Nevermore I shall it see!
Half my heart lies there with thee,
Fairest maid in Arcady.

Arcady was passing fair;
Birds sang gaily through the air;
Orchard blossoms like the sea.
In the land of Arcady.

O, thou land of Arcady,
Nevermore I'll look on thee!
All my heart lies there in thee.
With the maid of Arcady.



JUST TO SEE MY LOVE AGAIN.
When the sparkle's on the snow and the frost is on the pane,
To my Northland home I'll go just to see my love again.
Just to look into her eyes, with their lashes softly brown,
Just to see her sweet surprise ere she casts them gently down.
When the frost is on the pane and the sparkle's on the snow,
Just to see my love again to my Northland home I'll go.
