The birds sleeping gently

voice; mandolinsSung by Mrs. Stella Hartley Saskatoon, Sask. December 1959 Reel 341, Item 3 Alice Where Art Thou? The birds sleeping gently Sweet lyra gleams with bright Her rays fringe the forrest And all seems glad tonight. The wind sishing by me Cooling my fevered brow The streams flow as even Yet Alice where art thou? A year back this even And thou went by my side A year back this even And thou went by my side Towing to love me One year back this even And thou went by my side Towing to love me Whatever may betide.
