VERSE 2:
But summer joys have faded,
and summer hopes have flown;
Her brow with grief is shaded,
her happy smiles are gone;
Yet why her heart is laden,
not one, alas! can say.
Who saw the village maiden
upon her wedding day.

VERSE 3:
The village bells are ringing,
but hark, how sad and slow;
The village choir is singing,
a requiem soft and low;
And all with sorrow laden,
their tearful tribute pay;
Who saw the village maiden
upon her wedding day.
