Full Lyrics
When my love came home to me
Pleasant Summer bringing
Every tree was out in leaf
Every bird was singing
Every red rose burst the bud
On its bramble springing.
There I met her in the lane
By those waters gleamy,
Met her toward the fall of day
Warm and dear and dreamy;
Did I loiter in the lane?
None was there to see me.
Only roses in the hedge
Lilies on the river,
Saw our greeting fast and fond,
Counted gift and giver,
Saw me take her to my home
Take her home for ever.
