I love you in the sleighing time,
I love you with a love sublime,
Oh, give to me that heart of thine,
In this, our sleighing time, our playing time,
Our sleighing, playing, sleighing time.
Set to music “Arabesque,” by Eric Meyer Helmund.
THE DRESDEN MAID
Thou pretty, dainty Dresden maid,
Tripping thru the grass,
Dandelion lifts shining head,
Gleaming as you pass.
(Chorus)
Thou Dresden maid
My heart rings true,
Speak but the word,
I’d give my life for you.
Simply clad with flowered kirtle,
Ever bloom more fair!
Azure petals like yon myrtle
Touch thy nutbrown hair.
(Chorus)
Wistful eyes of violet shade,
Tinting morn’s own dew,
Love pure as thine could never fade,
Grown in heart so true.
(Chorus)
