American Old Time Song Lyrics: 02 Annie Of The Vale
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 2
ANNIE OF THE VALE
The young stars are glowing, their clear light bestowing,
Their radiance fills the calm, clear Summer night!
Come forth like a fairy, so lithsome and airy;
And ramble in the soft mystic light.
Chorus.
Come, come, come, love, come!
Come ere the night-torches pale;
Oh, come in thy beauty, thou marvel of duty,
Dear Annie, dear Annie of the vale.
The world we inherit is charmed by thy spirit,
As radiant as the mild Summer ray!
The watch-dog is snarling, for fear Annie darling,
His beautiful young friend, I'd steal away.
Come, come, come, love, come! &c.
The night is advancing, the glow-worm is dancing,
The zephyrs breathe their music o'er the sea;
The forest is swaying, the streamlets delaying,
All nature waits my darling-waits for thee.
Come, come, come, love, come! &c.
