American Old Time Song Lyrics: 11 Nora Creina
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 11
NORA CREINA.
Nora Creina, see the flowers,
The lovely flowers that all seem'd perish'd,
The tendrils we together train'd,
The blossoms we so fondly cherish'd.
Now beneath the Summer's sun,
Gladly waking, gaily springing,
O'er thy bower their trellis weave,
Sweetest perfumes round thee flinging,
Nora Creina! Nora, dear!
Lovely darling, Nora Creina!
Nora Creina, see the birds.
We thought forever flown away, love,
Whose nest was in the linden tree,
Whose young would round thy footsteps play, love.
Now the weary Winter's past.
O'er the wild wave gaily winging,
Come to seek thy smiles again,
'Neath thy lattice sweetly singing,
Nora Creina! Nora, dear!
Spirits watch o'er Nora Creina!
Nora Creina! Nora, dear!
Thus my love is thine forever,
Tho' stern fate's decree is past,
Two fond hearts awhile to sever.
Nora, darling, wipe away
The tear that's in thy blue eye starting,
Soon, love, we shall meet again,
And still more fondly for the parting,
Nora Creina! Nora, dear!
My sweet, my own, my Nora Creina!
