Love
Song: Since, Moggy, I Mun Bid Adieu
From Miscellaneous Works (Waller, 1907)
SINCE, Moggy, I mun bid adieu,
How can I help despairing ?
Let Fate its Rigour still pursue,
There's nought more worth my caring.
'Twas she alone could calm my soul.
When racking thoughts did grieve me ;
Her eyes my troubles could control,
And into joys deceive me.
Farewel, ye brooks ; no more along
Your banks mun I be walking :
No more you'll hear my pipe or song.
Or pretty Moggy's talking.
But I by death an end will give
To grief, since we mun sever :
For who can after parting live.
Ought to be wretched ever.
