THE GONESOME SCENES OF WINTER |
|||
|
1
The gonosome scenes of winter Contains to frost and snow, Dark clouds around me gather, The wind doth loudly blow.
2
I went to see my true love, She looked so scornfully, I asked her for to marry, She would not answer me.
3* I sat there all night long, Until the break of day, A-waiting for an answer, 'Kind Miss, what do you say?"
4 'Kind sir, if I'm to answer I choose a single life; I never thought it suited For me to be your wife."
5*
'Now take it as an answer
And for yourself provide
I have another loved one,
And you I've laid aside." |
6
It wasn't more than three weeks This lady's mind did change, She wrote to me a letter "Kind sir, I am ashamed."
7 Kind sir, I know I've slighted you, I cannot bear you to mourn, Here is my heart, O loved one, Now keep it as your own."
8*
"To see these birds a-hopping From every bush to pine, I know my joy"d be doubled If you were only mine."
9 I wrote her back an answer, I sent it all in speed, Saying: "Once, my dear, I lovedyou; I loved you once indeed."
10
"All on the balmy ocean There's others I pursue; This world is wide and plentiful, There's more as fair as you!" |
