	I. LOVE : PERSONAL                            77
	No. 79. Behold the hour, the boat arrive! Tune: Oran gaoil Scofs Musical Museum: 1790, No. 273.
	Behold the hour, the boat arrive ! Thou goest, the darling of my heart! Sever'd from thee, can I survive? But Fate has will'd and we must part. I'll often greet the surging swell, Yon distant isle will often hail:— • E'en here I took the last farewell; There, latest mark'd her vanish'd sail!' Along the solitary shore, While flitting sea-fowl round me cry, Across the rolling, dashing roar, I'll westward turn my wistful eye :— ' Happy, thou Indian grove,' I'll say, 1 Where now my Nancy's path may be ! While thro' thy sweets she loves to stray, O, tell me, does she muse on me ?'
