KATE OF GARNAVILLA
Air—Roy's Wife
HAVE you been at Garnavilla ? Have you seen at Garnavilla Beauty's train trip o'er the plain With lovely Kate of Garnavilla ? Oh ! she's pure as virgin snows
Ere they light on woodland hill-0 \ Sweet as dew-drop on wild rose Is lovely Kate of Garnavilla !
Philomel, I've listened oft
To thy lay, nigh weeping willow:
Oh ! the strain more sweet, more soft, That flows from Kate of Garnavilla. Have you been, etc.
As a noble ship I've seen
Sailing o'er the swelling billow,
So I've marked the graceful mien Of lovely Kate of Garnavilla.
Have you been, etc.
If poets' prayers can banish cares, No cares shall come to Garnavilla;
Joy's bright rays shall gild her days,
And dove-like peace perch on her pillow. |
