cora dean - stephen foster lyrics

Loading...

(verse 1)
near the broad atlantic waters
roaming the woodlands green
‘mid long island’s lovely daughters
fairest of all was cora dean

soft her voice as liquid measure
heard when the streamlets move
while her eyes of tender azure
glowed with the winning beams of love

(chorus)
cora dean has left the summer roses
blooming o’er the lea
cora dean has left the summеr roses
blooming o’er the lеa
while her fair and gentle form reposes
down by the calm blue sea
while her fair and gentle form reposes
down by the calm blue sea

(verse 2)
cora dean was form for loving
cheering the hearts of all
none could sigh where she was moving
birds tuned their carols to her call
fields grew fairer at her coming
flowers a more joyful throng
skies were bright where she was roaming
streams danced the lighter to her song

(chorus)
cora dean has left the summer roses
blooming o’er the lea
cora dean has left the summer roses
blooming o’er the lea
while her fair and gentle form reposes
down by the calm blue sea
while her fair and gentle form reposes
down by the calm blue sea

(verse 3)
eyes bedimmed with tears are streaming
round her deserted home
silent stars are nightly beaming
lending a sadness to the gloom

while the winds of summer dying
borne from the deep dark wave
o’er the land in dirges sighing
murmur with sorrow round her grave
(chorus)
cora dean has left the summer roses
blooming o’er the lea
cora dean has left the summer roses
blooming o’er the lea
while her fair and gentle form reposes
down by the calm blue sea
while her fair and gentle form reposes
down by the calm blue sea
