A Song (continued)
“It being in the blooming Summer time when meadows they were in their prime”
(continued from previous page)V
Kind sir your offer it is good,
And I'd embrace it if I could,
But I'm afraid my parents would
Our union disarrange.
Full eighteen summers have I seen.
And yet a lover has not been,
Therefore I can't become your queen
Said the blooming flower of Grange.VI'Tis sad to say my love farewell,
The pain I feel no tongue can tell,
Those heavy thoughts I can't dispel,
That through my bosom range
Its for the want of free consent,
I'm doomed in exile to repent,
And during life for to lament
The day we met in Grange.
