Aura Lea

DWhen the blackbird E7in the spring, A7'neath the willow Dtree Sat and rocked, I E7heard him sing, E7singing Aura DLea!     DAura F#Lea!, BmAura D7Lea!     GMaid with Gmgolden Dhair     Am6Sunshine B+came B7aE7long with thee     And A4swalA7lows in the Dair In thy blush the rose was born, music when you spake. In thine azure eye the morn sparkling, seemed to break.   Aura Lea!, Aura Lea!   Take my golden ring   Love and life return with thee   And swallows in the Spring Aura Lea! The bird may flee, the willow's golden hair Swing through winter fitfully - on the stormy air Yet if thy blue eyes I see - gloom will soon depart For to me, sweet Aura Lea, is sunshine through the heart When the mistletoe was green - midst the winter's snows Sunshine in thy face was seen - kissing lips of rose
