Minstrel Song

I sing a song of spring and flowers
Quiet moments gentle hours
Grass of green and sky of blue 
Nature in her brightest hues
Daffodils in petticoats yellow
Primroses in colours mellow
As I sit beneath the sky
I think of you and wonder why
You walked away and stole my heart 
Although you swore we’d never part 
I sing a song of spring and sorrow
Perhaps I shall forget tomorrow
