How sweet to sit beneath a tree
In some delightful grove !
But oh ! more soft, more sweet to mt
The voice of her I love!
Whene'er she joins the village train,
To hail the new born day.
Mellifluous notes compose each strain.
Which zephyrs waft away.
The frowns of fate I calmly bear.
In humble sphere I move.
Content and bless'd where'er I heai
The voice of her I love.
"Where is my Liover.
As sung by Misa STEPHENS.
Where is my lover ? can any one tell 1
Where is he gone 1 where is he gone ?
He flirts with another, I know very well;
And I am all alone !
I own that I frown'd when I sent him away.
And order'd hiro not to come near me to-day •.
But then I'd no notion that he would obey,
Where is he gone ! where is he gone 1
Pm sure we girls do not mean half that we say.
Oh ! I am aU alone !
Where is my lover 1 oh ! bring him to me.
Where is he gone 1 where is he gone ]
I was not aware, how distressing 'twould be,
'Phus to be all alone !
They tell me to Mary gay presents he brings.
They say that he smiles wht-n fair Isabel sings;
'Tis plain tliat his Cupid has two pair of wings:
Where is he gone ] where is he gone 1
Oh ! his love and mine are two diflferont things,
For I am all alone !
