Stephen Foster — Gentle Lena Clare

(Verse 1) I'm thinking of sweet Lena Clare With deep blue eyes and waving hair Her voice is soft, her face is fair My gentle Lena Clare (Chorus) Gentle Lena Clare My dear lov'd Lena Clare Her heart is light Her eyes are bright My gentle Lena Clare (Verse 2) I love her careless, winning ways I love her wild and birdlike lays I love the grass whereon she strays My gentle Lena Clare (Chorus) Gentle Lena Clare My dear lov'd Lena Clare Her heart is light Her eyes are bright My gentle Lena Clare (Verse 3) Her home is in the shady glen When summer comes I'll seek again On mountain height and lowland plain My gentle Lena Clare (Chorus) Gentle Lena Clare My dear lov'd Lena Clare Her heart is light Her eyes are bright My gentle Lena Clare
