  *++Lyrics:|\\
Down by the shady grove,\\
Where in happy days gone by,\\
We oft wander'd by the clear, running stream,\\
All alone did I stray\\
In the gloomy twilight gray,\\
Fondly thinking of fond love's faded dream.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
Oh, oft have we stray'd in the green and shady grove,\\
In the green, in the green and shady grove;\\
Oh, there my love and I oft have wandered by the brook,\\
When the summer stars were beaming above.\\
\\
Ah, soon I heard a voice,\\
And it thrilll'd my soul with glee,\\
It was one that i had oft heard before,\\
'Twas my love come again,\\
Proving hope was not in vain,\\
Now our hearts are free from care as of yore.\\
\\
//ending: //\\
Oh, 'tis sweet to wander down in the green and shady grove,\\
When the wild warblers sing in their glee,\\
Ah, I never shall forget its happy scenes of love,\\
Nor the one that's wandered there oft with me.\\
