Where Are The Js I have Met?
where are the joys i have met? tune—“saw ye my father.” where are the joys i have met in the m, that danc'd to the lark's early song? where is the peace that awaited my wand'ring, at evening the wild-woods among? no more a winding the course of yon river, and marking sweet flowerets so fair, no more i trace the light footsteps of pleasure, but sorrow and sad-sighing care. is it that summer's forsaken our valleys, and grim, surly winter is near? no, no, the bees humming round the gay roses proclaim it the pride of the year. fain would i hide what i fear to discover, yet long, long, too well have i known; all that has caused this wre my bosom, is jenny, fair jenny alone. time ot aid me, my griefs are immortal, nor hope dare a fort bestow: e then, enamour'd and fond of my anguish, enjoyment i'll seek in my woe.
