Lyrics
The lyrics as written by Fosdick:
- When the blackbird in the Spring,
- 'On the willow tree,
- Sat and rocked, I heard him sing,
- Singing Aura Lea.
- Aura Lea, Aura Lea,
- Maid with golden hair;
- Sunshine came along with thee,
- And swallows in the air.
- Chorus:
- Aura Lea, Aura Lea,
- Maid with golden hair;
- Sunshine came along with thee,
- And swallows in the air.
- In thy blush the rose was born,
- Music, when you spake,
- Through thine azure eye the morn,
- Sparkling seemed to break.
- Aura Lea, Aura Lea,
- Birds of crimson wing,
- Never song have sung to me,
- As in that sweet spring.
- (Chorus)
- Aura Lea! the bird may flee,
- The willow's golden hair
- Swing through winter fitfully,
- On the stormy air.
- Yet if thy blue eyes I see,
- Gloom will soon depart;
- For to me, sweet Aura Lea
- Is sunshine through the heart.
- (Chorus)
- When the mistletoe was green,
- Midst the winter's snows,
- Sunshine in thy face was seen,
- Kissing lips of rose.
- Aura Lea, Aura Lea,
- Take my golden ring;
- Love and light return with thee,
- And swallows with the spring.
- (Chorus)
