RECENT APPEARANCE OF A LADY.
The joy of meeting one so fair
Inspires the present stream of song,
A bonny belle,
That few excel,
And one with whom, I few compare,
Though out of sight so long.
Inspires the present stream of song,
A bonny belle,
That few excel,
And one with whom, I few compare,
Though out of sight so long.
It is a cause of much delight,
When lads and lasses meet again,
But bonny belle,
Not long to dwell,
For soon upon the wing of flight
We haste away in pain.
When lads and lasses meet again,
But bonny belle,
Not long to dwell,
For soon upon the wing of flight
We haste away in pain.
That long hid form I smile to trace—
A star emerging out of gloom,
Exalted belle,
Whose powers excel,
And draw the heart by every grace,
The queen of every bloom.
A star emerging out of gloom,
Exalted belle,
Whose powers excel,
And draw the heart by every grace,
The queen of every bloom.
Long out of sight, but still in mind,
Eternal mem'ry holds its grasp,
Still bonny belle,
'T is sweet to tell
Of thee, when I am left behind,
In sorrow's lonely clasp.
Eternal mem'ry holds its grasp,
Still bonny belle,
'T is sweet to tell
Of thee, when I am left behind,
In sorrow's lonely clasp.
