Like dew on th' gowan lying, is the fa' o' her fairy feet, And like winds in summer sighing, her voice is low and sweet, Her voice is low and sweet, and she's a' the world to me, And for bonnie Annie Laurie, I'd lay me down and dee.
The 'Watch by the Rhine. (Pat's Pick, Page 97.)
Key of 0.
A cry is heard like thunder sound, The clash of swords, the waves rebound; On to the Rhine, our river free! Who will its brave defenders be? Chorus— Dear Fatherland, may peace be thine! Dear Fatherland, may peace be thine! Fast stands and sure, the watch, the watch by the Rhine, Fast stands and sure, the watch, the watch by the Rhine. A myriad voices join the cry, A myriad glances flash reply, Each German, honest, true and bold, The sacred boundary will hold!
