Hiawatha's Melody Of Love

Hiawatha's Melody Of Love
Composer(s): Alfred Bryan; Artie Mehlinger; Geo. W. Meyer



Where the summer skies tenderly
Kiss the pines that rise slenderly
By a forest stream
Indian lovers came to dream
'Neath the moon aglow
In the long ago
They sang of love
sweet and low

Hiawatha roamed tearfully
Gazed up on the spot fearfully
On a moss bound throne
Hiawatha that pined alone
Willow boughs bent low
From them seemed to flow
Music to banish his woe

And the song they sang was Hiawatha's melody
Just a golden memory
Of the days that used to be
As they sat entranced beneath the weeping tree
Every leaf up above seemed to tremble with love
And the evening breeze sang Hiawatha's melody
Sang it sweet and tenderly
Like a lover's rosary
Now the song birds in Spring still remember and sing Hiawatha's melody of love
