I LOVE THY SHADE
To a Wild Arbour
I love thy shade
Wild arbour on the rude heath growing
Were neer a hand its care bestowing
Trains the woodbine now its blowing
Wild arbour on the rude heath growing
I love thy shade
Wild arbour on the rude heath growing
Were neer a hand its care bestowing
Trains the woodbine now its blowing
Wild arbour on the rude heath growing
I love thy shade
I love thy shade
Now thy rose & woodbines blooming
& tho schoolboys rude presuming
Robs thy boughs of their perfuming
When thy bowers no longer blooming
Ill love thy shade
Now thy rose & woodbines blooming
& tho schoolboys rude presuming
Robs thy boughs of their perfuming
When thy bowers no longer blooming
Ill love thy shade
I love thy shade
By the tastless clown unheeded
When the moonlight revels leaded
Fays thy boughs have archd & beeded
By the tastless clown unheeded
I love thy shade
By the tastless clown unheeded
When the moonlight revels leaded
Fays thy boughs have archd & beeded
By the tastless clown unheeded
I love thy shade
