Alice Cary,
The Riverside song book — Idle
(1893)
“ Saw the gray barn's op - 'ning seams, I saw the bare - armed sun with - drew his beams; . . No crea - ture cared a - sing - ing, I saw the green grass spring - ing, All fen - nel, In the mul - liens lined with flan - nel, All shear - ers— The rud - dy wa - ter bear - ers,— All bout me, The world could do with - out me, All as I lay a dream - ing, A dreaming i - dle dreams. ”
