    To view the spreading shade.
    Said I my pretty fair maid
    Your beauty does me start
    While Cupid like a daring flame
    At me be shot a dart.
    And if you would remain a while
    To I'd my mind disclose
    I'v hopes you'd come along with me
    From the shades of Ankel grove
    The evening is drawing nigh
    And my parents are watching me
    And homewards I must hie.
    But on some other evening
    When I'll have more time
    We'll take a walk and we will talk of love along by the New Line.
    The evening close were gathering
    And the winds began to moan.
    We both shook hands and parted
    And I returned home.
