DRESDINA. Copyright, 1893, by Francis, Day & Hunter. Words by Clifton Bingham. Music by Paul De Faye. 
Years ago my heart was breaking, years ago in love I fell, Ev'ry other thought forsaking, yet my love I dared not tell. She was dainty, she was pretty, but her heart was cold indeed, Still I never begged for pity, for I knew she would not heed. Sunny little maiden, with sweet blossoms laden, still I see her smiling there, Dainty little lady from far A ready, my Dreed in a, sweet and fair. Long ago my heart was mended, though I love her dearly still: Like all love-tales, mine has ended, I have changed, as lovers will. On my mantel-shelf she's dancing, just a little china maid, Smiling archly, at me glancing, from beneath her big hat shade. Sunny little maiden, with sweet blossoms laden, still I see her smiling there, Dainty little lady from far Arcady, my Dresdina, sweet and fair.
