Lyrics:
Alice, Where Art Thou? [Version (a)]:
The birds sleeping gently
Sweet Luna gleameth bright
Her rays tinge the forest
And all seems glad tonight
The wind sighing by me
Cooling my fevered brow
The stream flows as ever
Yet Alice, where art thou?
One year back this even
And thou wert by my side
One year back this even
And thou wert by my side
Vowing to love me
One year past this even
And thou wert by my side
Vowing to love me
Alice, whatev'er might betide
The silver rain falling
Just as it falleth now
And all things slept gently
Oh! Alice, where art thou?
I've sought thee by lakelet
I've sought thee on the hill
And in the pleasant wildwood
When winds blow cold and chill
I've sought thee in forest
I'm looking heavenward now
I've sought thee in forest
I'm looking heavenward now
Oh! There 'mid the starshine
I've sought thee in forest
I'm looking heavenward now
Oh! There amid the starshine
Alice I know, art thou!
The birds sleeping gently
Sweet Luna gleameth bright
Her rays tinge the forest
And all seems glad tonight
The wind sighing by me
Cooling my fevered brow
The stream flows as ever
Yet Alice, where art thou?
One year back this even
And thou wert by my side
One year back this even
And thou wert by my side
Vowing to love me
One year past this even
And thou wert by my side
Vowing to love me
Alice, whatev'er might betide
The silver rain falling
Just as it falleth now
And all things slept gently
Oh! Alice, where art thou?
I've sought thee by lakelet
I've sought thee on the hill
And in the pleasant wildwood
When winds blow cold and chill
I've sought thee in forest
I'm looking heavenward now
I've sought thee in forest
I'm looking heavenward now
Oh! There 'mid the starshine
I've sought thee in forest
I'm looking heavenward now
Oh! There amid the starshine
Alice I know, art thou!
