I've been wandering in the greenwoods
And mid flowery smiling plains
I've been listening to the dark floods
To the thrushes thrilling strains
I have gathered the pale primrose
And the purple violet sweet

And where lives the red deer fleet.

From the fair Inamelled ground
Where the nightingale is singing
With a solemn plaintive sound.
