Green Shady Place

Oh sad is the heart that must bid you adieu
When leave-taking comes between
Parting friends and you
And poor is the soul who has yet to embrace
The joy that was ours in that green shady place

Oh gone are the days when we walked in the lane
And candles kept the shadows from our way
Oh how I do long for the chance to return
To the peace I enjoyed in our green shady place

Oh grand was the feast that our hosts did prepare
And fine were the clothes that our company did wear
And yet I recall when my thoughts turn apace
The joy that was ours in that green shady place

Oh gone are the days when we walked in the lane
And candles kept the shadows from our way
Oh how I do long for the chance to return
To the peace I enjoyed in our green shady place

Oh great was the ball with its pomp and review
With Lord after Lord bringing all their retinue
And yet to your side I would once again race
For joy such as ours in that green shady place

Oh gone are the days when we walked in the lane
And candles kept the shadows from our way
Oh how I do long for the chance to return
To the peace I enjoyed in our green shady place

Oh sad was the hour when we last parted ways
With war on the winds making end of pleasant days
And five thousand leagues stand between us in space
My heart lingers still in that green shady place

Oh gone are the days when we walked in the lane
And candles kept the shadows from our way
Oh how I do long for the chance to return
To the peace I enjoyed in our green shady place

Oh gone are the days when we walked in the lane
And candles kept the shadows from our way
Oh how I do long for the chance to return
To the peace I enjoyed in our green shady place
