 | The Irish Poems of Alfred Perceval Graves |  |
COME, SIT DOWN BESIDE ME
When first you came courting,My own heart's delight,
I met you with sporting
And saucy despite;
And of other fine fellows
I made you mad jealous,
When first you came courting,
My own heart's delight.
97
My own heart's delight,
For coldly you eyed me,
Or shrank from my sight;
Or with Norah you chattered,
Or Flora you flattered,
Sitting close up beside me,
You rogue, you were right!
But sit down beside me,
My own heart's delight,
To comfort and guide me;
I'm yours from to-night!
I've teased and I've vexed you,
I've pleased and perplexed you,
But sit down beside me,
We're one from to-night!
