The Spinning Wheel - Frank Patterson

The Spinning Wheel - Frank Patterson (弗兰克·帕特森)
Mellow to the moonlight to shine is beginnin
Close by the window young eileen is spinnin
Then t'ward the fire her blind grandmother's sittin
Who's croonin' and moanin' and drowsily knittin
Merrily cheerily noiselessly working
Spins the wheel swings the wheel while the food's stirring
Sprightly and lightly and merrily ringin
Sounds the sweet voice of a young maiden singin
Merrily cheerily noiselessly working
Spins the wheel swings the wheel while the food's stirring
Sprightly and lightly and merrily ringin
Sounds the sweet voice of a young maiden singin
There's a form at the casement
'Tis the form of her true love
He whispers to her I am waiting for you love
Get up on the stool through the lattice step lightly
And we'll rove through the grove
While the moon's shinin' brightly
Slower and slower and slower the wheel spins
Lower and lower and lower the reel rings
Now the reel and the wheel stop their spinning and movin
Through the grove young lovers by moonlight are rovin
