Lyrics: William Vernon
Happy the man, whom heaven ordained
To tune the slender oaten reed;
And on his own paternal plains
His flock to feed.
Under some shady tree reclin'd,
Close by a flowery fountain's side,
To carve upon the tender rind
Is all his pride.
Sweet Rosalinda's pleasing name
On every neighbouring tree is found;
And with sweet Rosalinda's name
The woods resound.
Happy the man, whom heaven ordained
To tune the slender oaten reed;
And on his own paternal plains
His flock to feed.
Under some shady tree reclin'd,
Close by a flowery fountain's side,
To carve upon the tender rind
Is all his pride.
Sweet Rosalinda's pleasing name
On every neighbouring tree is found;
And with sweet Rosalinda's name
The woods resound.
