Julia since far from you I've rang'd | B |
Our souls with fond affection glow not | C |
You say 'tis I not you have chang'd | B |
I'd tell you why but yet I know not | C |
- | |
- | |
- | |
Your polish'd brow no cares have crost | C |
And Julia we are not much older | D |
Since trembling first my heart I lost | C |
Or told my love with hope grown bolder | D |
- | |
- | |
- | |
Sixteen was then our utmost age | E |
Two years have lingering pass'd away love | F |
And now new thoughts our minds engage | E |
At least I feel disposed to stray love | F |
- | |
- | |
- | |
'Tis I that am alone to blame | G |
I that am guilty of love's treason | H |
Since your sweet breast is still the same | G |
Caprice must be my only reason | H |
- | |
- | |
- | |
I do not love suspect your truth | I |
With jealous doubt my bosom heaves not | C |
Warm was the passion of my youth | I |
One trace of dark deceit it leaves not | C |
- | |
- | |
- | |
No no my flame was not pretended | C |
For oh I lov'd you most sincerely | J |
And though our dream at last is ended | C |
My bosom still esteems you dearly | J |
- | |
- | |
- | |
No more we meet in yonder bowers | K |
Perhaps my soul's too prone to roving | L |
But older firmer hearts than ours | K |
Have found monotony in loving | L |
- | |
- | |
- | |
Your cheeks soft bloom is unimpair'd | C |
Your beauties still are daily bright'ning | L |
Your eye for conquest comes prepar'd | C |
The forge of love's resistless lightning | L |
- | |
- | |
- | |
Arm'd thus to make their bosoms bleed | C |
Many will throng to sigh like me love | F |
More constant they may prove indeed | C |
Fonder alas they ne'er can be love | F |
