Lyrics
Thinking of you while out for a ramble
Reflecting on thoughts of someone special while taking a leisurely walk.
Down by a cold frosty stream
Near a cold, icy stream.
Set down on a bed of hemlocks and primroses
Sitting on a bed of poisonous hemlocks and delicate primroses.
Gentry I fell into a dream
Fell into a dream, suggesting a departure from reality.
I dreamed I saw a pretty fair maiden
Dreaming of encountering a beautiful maiden.
Such beauty I'd never saw before
Her beauty surpasses anything seen before.
Her dress was bound round with hemlocks and primroses
Her attire adorned with hemlocks and primroses, symbolizing nature.
So gree was the mantel she wore
The green mantle she wears, suggesting freshness and vitality.
He hair was of a dark brown color
Details about the maiden's appearance: dark brown hair, white teeth like ivory.
Her teeth was as ivory so white
Emphasizing the purity of her teeth.
Her eyes they shined like sparking diamonds
Her eyes are bright and precious, compared to sparkling diamonds.
Of stars than shine on a cold frosty night
Her eyes compared to stars shining on a cold, frosty night.
I drew her near then I awakened
Close moment in the dream, but awakening to emptiness and thoughts of the person.
With two empty arms and you on my mind
Feeling the absence of the person, with only memories.
Heaven seemed so near while I was dreaming
The dream felt heavenly, contrasting with the pain of realizing the separation.
It hurts to know you left me behind
The realization that the person has been left behind, causing emotional pain.
