When the blackbird in the spring
On the willow tree
Sat and rocked, I heard him sing
Singing Aura Lee
Aura Lee, Aura Lee
Maid of 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 Lee, Aura Lee
Bird of crimson wing
Never song have sung to me
In that sweet spring
Aura Lee! The bird may flee
The willows 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 Lee
Is sunshine through the heart
When the mistletoe was green
Midst the winter's snows
Sunshine in thy face was seen
Kissing lips of rose
Aura Lee, Aura Lee
Take my golden ring
Love and light return with thee
And swallows with the spring
