HERE'S A HEALTH
Chorus
Here's a health to ane I loe dear!
Here's a health to ane I loe dear!
Thou art sweet as the smile when fond lovers meet,
And soft as their parting tear,
Jessy—
And soft as their parting tear!
I
Altho' thou maun never be mine,
Altho' even hope is denied,
'Tis sweeter for thee despairing
Than ought in the world beside,
Jessy—
Than ought in the world beside!
II
I mourn thro' the gay, gaudy day,
As hopeless I muse on thy charms;
But welcome the dream o' sweet slumber!
For then I am lockt in thine arms,
Jessy—
For then I am lockt in thine arms!
Chorus
Here's a health to ane I loe dear!
Here's a health to ane I loe dear!
Thou art sweet as the smile when fond lovers meet,
And soft as their parting tear,
Jessy—
And soft as their parting tear!
