helen maria williams - a song lyrics
Loading...
i
no riches from his scanty store
my lover could impart;
he gave a boon i valued more —
he gave me all his heart!
ii
his soul sincere, his generous worth
might well this bosom move;
and when i asked for bliss on earth
i only meant his love
iii
but now for me, in search of gain
from sh0r- to sh0r- he flies;
why wander riches to obtain
when love is all i prize?
iv
the frugal meal, the lowly cot
if blest my love with thee!
that simple fare, that humble lot
were more than wealth to me
v
while he the dangerous ocean braves
my tears but vainly flow:
is pity in the faithless waves
to which i pour my woe?
vi
the night is dark, the waters deep
yet soft the billows roll;
alas! at every breeze i weep —
the storm is in my soul
