ISAAC BICKERSTAFF (1735-1812)
SONG From " Love in a Village "
T
HERE was a jolly miller once, Lived on the river Dee; He worked and sang, from morn to night; No lark so blithe as he. And this the burden of his song,
Forever used to be,— " I care for nobody, not I, If no one cares for me." |

TWO SONGS From " Thomas and Sally, or the Sailor's Return "
I
M
Y time how happy once and gay ! Oh ! blithe I was as blithe could be; But now I'm sad, ah, well-a-day! For my true love is gone to sea.
The lads pursue, I strive to shun ;
Though all their arts are lost on me; For I can never love but one,
And he, alas ! has gone to sea. |
