Yarrimore.

Topics: classic

[These Lines were written for a Lady who set them to Music.]     My poor heart flutters like the sea     Now heaving on the sandy shore;     It seems to tell me you shall be     Never again near Yarrimore.     Far, far beyond the waves, I bend     Mine eyes, if I can land explore;     But o'er the waves I find no end, -     Yet there they say's my Yarrimore.     The hut he built is standing still,     Deck'd with the shells he cull'd from shore;     Our bow'r is waving on the hill,     But where, alas! is Yarrimore?     Within that bow'r I'll sit and sigh,     From dawn of day till day is o'er;     And, as the wild winds o'er me fly,     I'll call on gentle Yarrimore!
