| Two lovers reclined in the shade of a tree | B |
| She was the mountain king's rosy lipped daughter | A |
| The brave warrior chief of the valley was he | B |
| Then all things around them below and above | C |
| Were basking as now in the sunshine of love | C |

| In the days that are gone they were laid 'neath the willow | E |
| The maid in her beauty the youth in his pride | F |
| Both slain by the foeman who crossed the dark billow | E |
| And stole the broad lands where their children reside | F |
| Whose fathers when dying in fear looked above | C |
| And trembled to think of that chief and his love | C |
| In the days that are gone by this sweet flowing stream | D |
