Come go and practise get your work	A
Do something Nelly pray	B
I hate to see you moon about	C
In this uncertain way	B
Why do you look so vacant child	D
I fear you must be ill	E
Surely you are not thinking of	F
That Captain Cameron still	E
	-
Ah yes I fear'd so You may blush	G
I blush for you my dear	H
And it is scarce a week ago	I
Since Gerald brought him here	J
The day he fell in the hunting field	K
And his pretty horse was lamed	K
O child and with your bringing up	L
You ought to be ashamed	K
	-
Last night I saw you watching him	M
And you danced with him thrice	N
You turn'd quite red when he spoke to you	O
Such manners are not nice	N
You Nelly Gray should not be seen	P
I don't wish to be harsh	Q
Running wild like the servant girls	R
For a red coat and moustache	S
	-
Not that he isn't a gentleman	T
From spur to shako brim	M
I know good blood when I see it yes	U
I will say that for him	M
He does not swagger nor lisp nor flirt	K
Has none of those vulgar ways	V
And he does not talk like a stable boy	W
As the fashion is nowadays	V
In fact I admire him very much	X
My dear you need not fret	K
I do he's very different from	Y
The rest of Gerald's set	K
He's very handsome certainly	Z
I don't mind saying so	I
He reminds me a bit of your uncle when	A2
I met him long ago	I
He had a silky long moustache	S
Of just that golden shade	K
And broad Greek brows with a tint of bronze	B2
That Indian suns had made	K
He was a soldier too you know	I
As big and strong and tall	C2
He'd just come home when I saw him first	K
At Lady Talbot's ball	C2
	-
I remember when we were introduced	K
By stealth I look'd him o'er	D2
Such haughty indolent gentle eyes	E2
I never saw before	F2
I felt so strange when he look'd at me	Z
I cannot tell you why	G2
But I seem'd to feel he was mine to keep	H2
And love till I should die	G2
	-
'Twas very odd in a moment too	O
Before I knew his name	I2
But Nelly O how the world was changed	K
And brighten'd when he came	I2
I was so restless all that night	K
I did not want to see	Z
I felt where he moved about the room	J2
While he was away from me	Z
I was jealous I could not help it	K
Although I struggled hard	K
Of the other girls whose favour'd names	K2
Were written on his card	K
They were so rich and I was poor	L2
They were so grandly dress'd	K
And I so dowdy and yet and yet	K
I thought he liked me best	K
	-
The last long hour he danced with them	M2
And oh I miss'd him so	I
And then I heard our carriage call'd	K
And I knew that I must go	I
A big lump rose up in my throat	K
That I could hardly bear	N2
But passing through the vestibule	O2
I saw him standing there	N2
	-
I knew not where he came from	Y
But I felt no surprise	E2
When he look'd down from his stately height	K
With his grave and quiet eyes	E2
And held his hand for a mute good night	K
That said all words could say	B
Ah love he made me happy then	A2
For ever and for aye	G2
	-
Well well but this is nonsense	P2
How I am running on	Q2
His golden hair grew thin and grey	B
And now he's dead and gone	R2
There go and dress for dinner child	K
It's getting late you see	Z
And perhaps I'll ask young Cameron	T
If he'll come in to tea	Z
