[How oft (with hat pulld oer my eyes]
How oft (with hat pulld oer my eyes
To aid my aching sight)
Ive markd the little songster rise
& trac'd him out of sight
To aid my aching sight)
Ive markd the little songster rise
& trac'd him out of sight
Delightful bird 'twas not thy song
Charmd my mischevous breast
Twas pleasing hopes that I ere long
Should find thy lowly nest
Charmd my mischevous breast
Twas pleasing hopes that I ere long
Should find thy lowly nest
