My Own Sweet Avon moor

*But the sweetest charm of my native
Was the form of a maiden fair
bending blade
**Though her tread hath passed from the
Her spirit dwells in the air
She will come in dreams like a pleasant guest
To speak of the days of yon yore
And the cup of bliss that our lips have pressd
In my own Sweet Avon moor
I little cared where I laid my head
For the trees that the tempest tore
For me had shed a leafy bed
On the hills of Avonmoor
[at the bottom, smaller:]
* But the sweetest charm was a fairy form

**Though her feet have strayed from the bending blade
