A Song

It being in the blooming Summer time when meadows they were in their prime

It being in the blooming Summer time
when meadows they were in their prime,
To take the air I was inclined
And carelessy did range,
Where primroses & violets blue,
And daisies o'er the plains were strew,
My onward course I did pursue,

A sunny cottage by the road,
Wherein a damsel sang & sewed
Whose melodies could change
Man's darkest sorrow into bliss
