The Summer Violet

There once was a child with a bright lovely face
Dressed in a gown of green linnen and lace
Crowned with her Dreams and violet ribbon hair
Walking through fields plucking flowers with care

Chorus
     You my love are the Summer Violet
     In the tender breezes of waking day
     You my love are the Summer Violet
     Waving gently from sunrise to sunset

Her Dreams wild stars gaily sailing in sky
That build constellations dancing on high
Lighting green valley with purest of beam
Witness those lights that awake in her Dream

Chorus

Her friend the dragon-fly, raven and snail
Her love the mountain, the forest and vale
As her only sister, if but you are kind
Dreams of the valley are what you will find

Chorus

Solo

There once was a child with a bright lovely face
Dressed in a gown of green linnen and lace
Crowned with her Dreams and violet ribbon hair
Walking through fields plucking flowers with care

Chorus x2.
