Thou pretty, dainty Dresden maid, Tripping thru the grass, Dandelion lifts shining head, Gleaming as you pass. (Chorus) Thou Dresden maid My heart rings true, Speak but the word, I’d give my life for you. Simply clad with flowered kirtle, Ever bloom more fair! Azure petals like yon myrtle Touch thy nutbrown hair. (Chorus) Wistful eyes of violet shade, Tinting morn’s own dew, Love pure as thine could never fade, Grown in heart so true. (Chorus) Blossoms adored by thee, sweetheart, Flourish but a day, One smile thou canst to me impart, Lendeth hope alway. (Chorus) |
