NANCY.
I
Why do you smile, Nancy, Nancy?Why do smile, Nancy?
Why do you smile so readily
At a quick-passing fancy?
Look in your heart, Nancy, Nancy;
Look down deep:
Look in your heart, poor Nancy—
And weep!
II
What is the hope, Nancy, Nancy?What is the hope, Nancy?
What is the hope that comes and goes
With a quick-passing fancy?
Look in your heart, Nancy, Nancy;
Look down deep:
Look in your heart, poor Nancy—
And weep!
