The Salamanca Corpus: The Poetical Works of Miss Susanna Blamire (1842) Or where is the treasure can buy off a sigh! Did riches e’er purchase the loan of to-morrow, Or find out a medicine to cure the moist eye? [188] Let wealth spread her carpet, and ask the gay hours To dance in light circles its borders along; They’d sooner tend Patrick to Nature’s green bowers “With Norah, dear Norah, the theme of his song.” Midst the joys of the heart sits one tender affection To heal every sorrow when tortur’d with pain; And, when feeling sinks down into silent dejection, Sends Hope with her cordial to cheer her again: Thus love has shown Norah the feints of high station, And told her that peace seldom joins the gay throng; While “one sweet smile gives Patrick the wealth of a nation From Norah, dear Norah, the theme of his song.” 1 O BID ME NOT TO WANDER. Written when earnestly entreated to go to the South of France for the recovery of her health. AIR—A Rose Tree. O urge me not to wander, And quit my pleasant native shore; O let me still meander On those sweet banks I lov’d before! 1 It will be perceived that the author has borrowed the last line of each of the above stanzas from a fine Irish song, entitled “Tho’ Leixlip is proud,” in “The Poor Soldier,” but nothing more.
The Salamanca Corpus: The Poetical Works of Miss Susanna Blamire (1842) [189] . The heart when fill’d with sorrow Can find no joy in change of scene, Nor can that cheat to-morrow Be aught hut what to-day has been. If pleasure e’er o’ertakes me, ’Tis when I tread the wonted round Where former joy awakes me, And strows its relics o’er the ground. There’s not a shrub or flower But tells some dear lov’d tale to me, And paints some happy hour Which I, alas! no more shall see. WHAT AILS THIS HEART O’ MINE! AIR—Sir James Baird. WHAT ails this heart o’ mine? What ails this watery ee? What gars me a’ turn cauld as death When I take leave o’ thee? When thou art far awa Thou’lt dearer grow to me; But change o’ place and change o’ folk May gar thy fancy jee. [190] When I gae out at een, Or walk at morning air, Ilk rustling bush will seem to say I us’d to meet thee there. Then I’ll sit down and cry, And live aneath the tree, And when a leaf fa’s i’ my lap I’ll ca’t a word frae thee. I’ll hie me to the bower That thou wi’ roses tied,
