"A favorite song sung with the greatest applause by Mrs Ashe, at the Bath Concerts. Composed by Mr Rauzzini. The words by William Bennet, Esqr." c.1810.
Lyrics: William Bennett
Blithe were the hours when Rosa smil'd,
More blithe than hours in May,
But she is now misfortune's child,
And sorrow marks her way.
O cruel fortune, cease to frown
Nor longer let your victim sigh;
In Lethe's lake her sorrows drown,
Her bitter tears in pity dry.
From morning dawn till gloomy night,
In silent grief she weeps alone;
Her love is lost, and past delight
Is now the source of endless moan.
O cruel fortune, cease to frown
Nor longer let your victim sigh;
In Lethe's lake her sorrows drown,
Her bitter tears in pity dry.
Blithe were the hours when Rosa smil'd,
More blithe than hours in May,
But she is now misfortune's child,
And sorrow marks her way.
O cruel fortune, cease to frown
Nor longer let your victim sigh;
In Lethe's lake her sorrows drown,
Her bitter tears in pity dry.
From morning dawn till gloomy night,
In silent grief she weeps alone;
Her love is lost, and past delight
Is now the source of endless moan.
O cruel fortune, cease to frown
Nor longer let your victim sigh;
In Lethe's lake her sorrows drown,
Her bitter tears in pity dry.
