"The Village Maiden"

Village Maiden
The village bells are ringing
 And merrily they chime
The village choir is singing
 And happy is the time
The chapel walls are laden
 With garlands rich and gay
To great the village maiden
 Upon her wedding day
  3d
The village bells are ringing
 But hark how sad and slow
 A pean deep and slow  
The village choir is singing
 A requiem soft and low
And all with sorrow laden
 Their tearful tribute pay
Who saw the village maiden
 Upon her wedding day
  2d
Her
That brow with grief is shaded
HerThat happy smiles are gone
Her  For summer joys have faded 
 And summer hopes have flown
 that
But why her heart is laden
 There's none will dare to say
Who say the villan mand
 Upon her wedding day
