  -1   -1 -1  -4 -4 -4  -4
There's a bow-er of ros-es 
-3 -3  3    3      3
by Ben-de-meer's stream, 
-2*  2    2   -1  -1   -1
and the night-in-gale sings 
   2  -2* -3   3  -3   3
'round it all the day long. 
-1 -1   -1  -4 -4  -4    -4
In the time of my child-hood 
  -3   -3  3   3     3
‘twas like a sweet dream, 
-2*2 2 -1 -1  -1  2
To sit by the ros-es 
-2*  -3   3    -3    3
and hear the bird’s song. 
 -1    -1   4   4  4   4
That bow'r and its mu-sic 
4   4   -4  -3* -4
I ne'er can for-get, 
-1  -1   3  -4  -5
but oft when a-lone 
-4 -4   -4   -3  3   -3
in the bloom of the year, 
-1 -1    -4 -4   -4   -4  -3
I think "Is the night-in-gale 
 -3   3    3    3
Sing-ing there yet? 
-2*  2   2  -1  -1    -1
Are the ros-es still bright 
2  -2*  -3   3  -3  3
by the calm Ben-de-meer?
