6 7 -7 7 -8 -6 -8 7 -7 -6 -6-7 7 Sat and piped I heard him sing, and sing of Aura Lee
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 -8 7 -8 8 Aura Lee, Aura Lee, maid of golden hair
8 8 -9 8 -8 -6 -8 7 7 -7 8 -8 7 Sunshine came along with thee, and swallows in the air On her cheek the rose was born, 'twas music when she spake In her eyes the rays of morn with splendor break Aura Lee, Aura Lee, maid of golden hair Sunshine came along with thee, and swallows in the air Aura Lee, the bird may flee, the willow's golden hair Swing through winter fitfully on cold and stormy air Yet if thine eyes I see gloom will soon depart For to me sweet Aura Lee is sunshine through my heart When the mistletoe was green amidst the winter's snows Sunshine in thy face was seen and kissing lips of rose Aura Lee, Aura Lee, take my golden ring Love and light return witt thee and swallows with the spring
