Christina Rossetti - (Song. 3) lyrics

She sat and sang alway By the green margin of a stream Watching the fishes leap and play Beneath the glad sunbeam I sat and wept alway Beneath the moon's most shadowy beam Watching the blossoms of the May Weep leaves into the stream I wept for memory; She sang for hope that is so fair: My tears were swallowed by the sea; Her songs died on the air
