I'd be a butterfly born in a bower,
Where roses and lilies and violets meet.
Psychæ (1828)
The mistletoe hung in the castle hall,
The holly-branch shone on the old oak wall.
Friends depart, and memory takes them
To her caverns, pure and deep.
The rose that all are praising
Is not the rose for me.
Gayly the troubadour
Touched his guitar.
Fear not, but trust in Providence,
Wherever thou may'st be.
Why don't the men propose, Mamma?
Why don't the men propose?
Sure it is better, when summer is over
To die when all fair things are fading away.
Psychæ (1828)
Oh no: we never mention her!
Her name is never heard;
My lips are now forbid to speak
That once familiar word.
Psychæ (1828)
She wore a wreath of roses
The first night that we met.
Those, who have wealth, must be watchful and wary;
Power, alas! nought but misery brings!
Psychæ (1828)
Surely 'tis better, when summer is over
To die when all fair things are fading away.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder:
Isle of Beauty, fare thee well!
Those that have wealth must be watchful and wary,
Power, alas! naught but misery brings!
My fond affection thou hast seen,
Then judge of my regret
To think more happy thou hadst been
If we had never met.
Tell me the tales that to me were so dear,
Long, long ago, long, long ago.
Oh, I have roamed o'er many lands,
And many friends I've met;
Not one fair scene or kindly smile
Can this fond heart forget.
Oh pilot, 'tis a fearful night!
There's danger on the deep.
O pilot! 'tis a fearful night,
There's danger on the deep.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
