1. As the blackbird in the spring'neath the willow treesat and piped
I heard him singpraising Aura Lee.
Aura Lee! Aura Lee! Maid of golden hairsunshine came along with thee and swall-ows in the air.2. Take my heart and take my ring
I give my all to theetake me for eternitydearest Aura Lee!
Aura Lee ! Aura Lee . . .3. In her blush the rose was born'twas music when she spokein her eyesthe light of mornsparkling seemed to break.
Aura Lee! Aura Lee . . .4. Aura Leethe bird may flee the willow' golden hairthen the wintry winds may be blowing ev'rywhere.
Yet if thy blue eyes I seegloom will soon departfor to mesweet Aura Lee is sunshine to the heart.
