The Rover's Adieu

Topics: classic

A weary lot is thine, fair maid,     A weary lot is thine!     To pull the thorn thy brow to braid,     And press the rue for wine.     A lightsome eye, a soldier's mien,     A feather of the blue,     A doublet of the Lincoln green     No more of me ye knew,     My Love!     No more of me ye knew.     'This morn is merry June, I trow,     The rose is budding fain;     But she shall bloom in winter snow     Ere we two meet again.'     He turn'd his charger as he spake     Upon the river shore,     He gave the bridle-reins a shake,     Said 'Adieu for evermore,     My Love!     And adieu for evermore.'
