Book used "Heart Songs", published 1909, piece based on the song "Dear Evelina, Sweet Evelina" (pg 417 in the book)

"Way down in the meadow where the lily first blows, Where the wind from the mountains ne'er ruffles the rose;
Lives fond Evelina, the sweet little dove, The pride of the valley, the girl that I love.

Dear Evelina, Sweet Evelina, My love for thee shall never, never die; never, never die.

She's fair like a rose, like a lamb she is meek, And she never was known to put paint on her cheek;
In the most graceful curls hangs her raven black hair, And she never requires perfumery there.

Dear Evelina, Sweet Evelina, My love for thee shall never, never die; never, never die.

Evelina and I one fine evening in June Took a walk all alone by the light of the moon;
The planets all shown, for the heavens were clear, And I felt round the heart tremendously queer.

Dear Evelina, Sweet Evelina, My love for thee shall never, never die; never, never die.

Three years have gone by, and I've got not a dollar, Evelina still lives in that green grassy holler;
Although I am fated to marry her never, I've sworn that I'll love her forever and ever.

Dear Evelina, Sweet Evelina, My love for thee shall never, never die; never, never die."
