VIOLETS DIPPED IN DEW Words and Music by the late Wm. H. Delehanty. 
As I strolled out one evening, The sun had just gone down. While leisurely meandering A little way from town; I there beheld a damsel, With eyes the brightest blue, Beneath her dark-eye lashes, Like violets dipped in dew. 
Chorus. A smile was all she gave me-(symph.) But how it did enslave me! 'Twas love, the first I knew; There's some sweet charm entrancing Within her eyes so blue, A dreamy, soft expression, Like violets dipped in dew. 
I followed on behind her, I think she knew it well, And, as a sweet reminder, Her handkerchief it fell; I raised the scented linen From off the grassy ground; Her name, in letters crimson, On one corner there I found. 
Chorus. She deigned to smile upon me-(Symph.) That moment she had won me, My heart it pierced me through; There's some sweet charming entrancing Within her eyes so blue, A dreamy, soft expression, Like violets dipped in dew. 
At length I did approach her, And ventured into talk, By asking her permission To ioin her lonely walk; She blushing, frowning, smiling, Said-" Oh! I think you're rude." But those blue eyes, beguiling, Seemed to say-"I wish you would." 
Chorus. So, arm in arm we wandered-(Symph.) Yes, side by side meandered, And told our love tales, too; There's some sweet charm entrancing Within her eyes so blue, A dreamy, soft expression, Like violets dipped in dew.
