I had a silver buckle,
I sewed it on my shoe,
and` neath a sprig of mistletoe
I danced the evening through!
I had a bunch of cowslips,
I hid them in a grot
In case the elves should come by night
And me remember not.
I had a yellow riband,
I tied it in my hair
That, walking in the garden,
The birds might see it there.
I had a secret laughter,
I laughed it near the wall:
Only the ivy and the wind
May tell of it at all.
