The Meeting of the Waters,
Key of D
D G A7 D
There is not in this wide world a valley so sweet
G D A7
as the vale in whose bosom the bright waters meet,
G D A7
Oh the last rays of feeling and life must depart,
D G A7 G A7
ere the bloom of that valley shall fade from my heart,
D G A7 G D
ere the bloom of that valley shall fade from my heart
D G A7 D
Yet it was not that nature had shed o’er the scene
G D A7
her purest of crystal and brightest of green
G D A7
Twas not her soft magic of streamlet or hill,
D G A7 G A7
Oh! No – it was something more exquisite still
D G A7 G D
Oh! No – it was something more exquisite still
D G A7 D
Twas that friends, the beloved of my bosom, were near
G D A7
who made every dear scene of enchantment more dear
G D A7
And who felt how the best charms of Nature improve
D G A7 G A7
when we see them reflected from looks that we love
D G A7 G D
when we see them reflected from looks that we love
D G A7 D
Sweet Vale of Avoca! How calm could I rest
G D A7
in thy bosom of shade, with the friends I love best
G D A7
Where the storms that we feel in this cold world should cease,
D G A7 G A7
and our hearts, like thy waters be mingled in peace
D G A7 G D
and our hearts, like thy waters be mingled in peace
