My English foreign exchange student "sister" and I used to sing this song (she brought the music from ENgland) and we've had a reunion now 50 years later. We're trying to remember the lyrics, but ours started:

My mind in fancy wanders
Midst woods and fields of spring
I hear the (something) and the (something)
That flow'rs in April bring

The little gazelle....

It all works perfectly to the Mendelssohn setting...can anyone help?
