The Spinning Wheel
Mellow the moonlight to shine is beginning Close by the window young Eileen is spinning Bent o'er the fire her blind grandmother sitting He's crooning and moaning and drowsily knitting
Merrily, cheerily, noiselessly, whirring Swings the wheel, spins the wheel while the foot's stirring Sprightly and lightly and airily ringing Thrills the sweet voice of the young maiden singing
'Eileen, a chara, I hear someone tapping' ''Tis the ivy, dear mother, against the glass flapping' 'Eily, I surely hear somebody sighing' ''Tis the sound, mother dear, of the autumn winds dying'
Merrily, cheerily, noiselessly, whirring Swings the wheel, spins the wheel while the foot's stirring Sprightly and lightly and airily ringing Thrills the sweet voice of the young maiden singing Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
There's a form at the casement, the form of her true love And he whispers with face bent: 'I'm waiting for you love' 'Get up on the stool, through the lattice step lightly And we'll rove in the grove while the moon's shining brightly'
Merrily, cheerily, noiselessly, whirring Swings the wheel, spins the wheel while the foot's stirring Sprightly and lightly and airily ringing Thrills the sweet voice of the young maiden singing
Slower and slower and slower the wheel swings Lower and lower and lower the reel rings Ere the reel and the wheel stopped there ringing and moving Through the grove the young lovers by moonlight are roving Through the grove the young lovers by moonlight are roving
