Happy Love 189
But life returned to him again, which proved the treachery; And he arose and put on his clothes on the banks of the Sweet Dundee.
11 "Once, my dearest Mary, I press thee to my heart;
There's nothing in this wide world but cruel death can part. Your uncle he has left this world and left his all to thee; We'll live to charm the depth of it on the banks of the Sweet Dundee." |
