Heart-Bells.
Through the wood and o'er the fields, How my heart is singing, While the sun is on the lake And the bells are ringing 1 On I gaily take my way To a creaky landing, There a little boat is tied And a lad is standing. Forth he comes to welcome me, Joy is m his greeting ; Ah I the lad, I know, has longed For this happy meeting. In the boat I take my place, Tie my korchief tightly — Oh 1 it is a bonnie boat Biding on so lightly. Through the rushes on we go, Pulling swift and neatly : Past the lilies on we go, Laddie talking sweetly. Can I help it if my heart Just for joy ia singing — With the lad and on the lake While the bells are ringing ? Eea.
