Stay, shepherd stay, I prithee stay, Did you not see her go this way? Where can she be? Can you not guess? Alas, I've lost my shepherdess.
I fear some satyr has betray'd My wand'ring nymph out of the shade, O woe is me I am undone For in the shade she was my sun.
The pink, the violet and the rose Strive to salute her as she goes, May be content to kiss her shoe The primrose and the daisy too.
O woe is me what must I do, Or who must I complain unto? Methinks the valleys cry "Forbear", And sighing say "she is not here".. | | |
| John Stafford Smith (1750 - 1836)
