A Health To Ane I Loe Dear

Chorus-Here’s a health to ane I loe dear,
Here’s a health to aneI loe dear;
Thou art sweet as the smile when fond lovers meet,
And soft as their parting tear-Jessy.

Altho’ thou maunnever be mine,
Altho’ even hope is denied;
‘Tis sweeter for thee despairing,
Than oughtin the world beside-Jessy.
Here’s a health, &c.

I mourn thro’ the gay, gaudy day,
As hopeless I muse on thy charms;
But welcome the dream o’sweet slumber,
For then I am lockt in thine arms-Jessy.
Here’s a health, &c.

I guess by the dear angel smile,
I guess bythe love-rolling e’e;
Butwhy urge the tender confession,
‘Gainst Fortune’s fell, cruel decree?-Jessy.
Here’s a health, &c.
