On the bosom of a mountain stream.

Such was the grove that lured of yore,

O’erlooking Minnetonka’s shore,

Lured to their deepest woe and joy

A happy maiden and careless boy,—

Lured their feet to its inmost core;

Where still mysterious shadows slept,

While the plenilune from her path above

With liquid amber bathed the grove,

That through the tree-tops trickling crept,
