AIR. OH, LADY, I'LL REMEMBER THEE!
Where'er by Fortune's whims I'm cast,
On sunny climes, or stormy sea;
While Mem'ry's mystic charms shall last,
Oh, lady, I'll remember thee!
On sunny climes, or stormy sea;
While Mem'ry's mystic charms shall last,
Oh, lady, I'll remember thee!
Each novel scene shall make me think
Of pleasures gone, still felt by me:
E'en while the cup of woe I drink,
Oh, lady, I'll remember thee!
Of pleasures gone, still felt by me:
E'en while the cup of woe I drink,
Oh, lady, I'll remember thee!
If riches be my fated lot,
And life be spent from troubles free;
Or should kind fortune bless me not,
Oh, lady, I'll remember thee;
And life be spent from troubles free;
Or should kind fortune bless me not,
Oh, lady, I'll remember thee;

If doom'd to pine in silent gloom
My hapless days of misery;
If burning griefs my heart consume,
Oh, lady, I'll remember thee!
My hapless days of misery;
If burning griefs my heart consume,
Oh, lady, I'll remember thee!
Oft retir'd to some tranquil seat,
Where Fancy bids all sorrows flee;
There as the moments quickly fleet,
Oh, lady, I'll remember thee!
Where Fancy bids all sorrows flee;
There as the moments quickly fleet,
Oh, lady, I'll remember thee!
When Death shall come and cut the thread
Which binds this mortal life to me;
When the light soul is almost fled,
Oh, lady, I'll remember thee!
Which binds this mortal life to me;
When the light soul is almost fled,
Oh, lady, I'll remember thee!
