	JEANIE WITH THE LIGHT BROWN HAIR
	I long for Jeanie, with the gay dawn smile, Radiant in gladness, warm with winning guile; I hear her melodies, like joys gone by, Sighing round my heart o'er the fond hopes that die:— [like the rain, — Sighing like the night-wind and sobbing Wailing for the lost one that comes not again:                                      [low, Oh! I long for Jeanie and my heart bows Never more to find her where the bright waters flow.	I sigh for Jeanie.but her light form strayed Far from the fond-hearts round her native glade;                          [songs flown, Her smiles have vanished and her sweet Flitting like the dreams that have cheered us and gone.                [on the shore, Now the nodding wild flowers may wither While her gentle fingers will cull .them no more;                                ' [hair, Oh! I sigh for Jeanie, with the light brown. Floating, like a vapor, on the sOft,sum.mer air.
