   I
   Of all the scenes I gazed upon
   In life's bright happy fast;
   There is one dear and sweet old place,
   That's on my memmory cast;
   That spot is by a flowing tide,
   Where youth has happy been
   And ever showed its brightest side
   Down by the slivery Deen.

   Chorous.
   That sweetest dearest place of mine,
   That changeless charming scene,
   Is by the banks where fairies play
   Down by the silvery Deen.

   II
   At close of day when toil is o'er,
   And life knows naught of care,
   The golden sun glides slowly by
   As if 'twould linger there
   The rustic bridge the hazel dell
   The floral mounds and sheen
   The ivied castle tales could tell
   Of rafture by the Deen.
