1860--
I drean of Jeannie with the light brown hair,
Borne like a vapor on the sumer air;
I soe her tripsing where the Drisght stroums play,
Happy as the daisies thet dance in her weye
ivany are the wild notes her merry voice would pour,
Many were the blythe birds that warble them o’er
Oh, I dream of Jeannie with the light brown hair,
Tossed like a vapor on the soft summer aire
1870--
Once in the dear dead days beyond recall
When on the earth the mists began to fall,
Out of the dreams that rose in happy throng
Low to our heart love seng an old sweet songe
And in the dusk where fell the starlight glean,
Softly it wove itself into our dream.
Chorus

Just a song aut twilight, when the lights are low
And the flickering shadows softly come and go
Though the heart be weary, sad the day and long,
Still to us at twilight comes love's old song,
Comes love's old sweet songe

1880--

In the gloaming, oh, my darling,

When the lights are low,

And the quiet shadows falling,

Softly come, and softly f06

When the winds cre sobbing faintly,

With a gentl@ unknown woe,

Will you think of me and love me

As you did once long ago?

In the gleaming, oh, my darling,
Think not bitterly of meg

Tho' I passes away in silence,

Left you lonely, set you free,

For my heart was crushed with longing
What had been could never bee

It was best to leave you thus, dear,
Best for you, and best for mee
