A loved one smiled-straight from the heart

And leaves go dancing left and right,

Sing a song of hollow logs,
Chirp of cricket, croak of frogs,

I had a little husband - I never knew a worse:
For better than his wife or life

Shed the effulgence of their gold,
Paving the pathways green before

Men now wear nearspats for spats,

I loved best her pretty eyes,
Clearer than stars in any skies
