Kate of GarnavillaEdward Lysaght (17651814)
H
Have you seen at Garnavilla
Beauty’s train trip o’er the plain
With lovely Kate of Garnavilla?
Ere they light on woodland hill-O;
Sweet as dew-drop on wild rose
Is lovely Kate of Garnavilla!
To thy lay, nigh weeping willow:
Oh! the strain more sweet, more soft,
That flows from Kate of Garnavilla.
Have you been, etc.
Sailing o’er the swelling billow,
So I’ve marked the graceful mien
Of lovely Kate of Garnavilla.
Have you been, etc.
No cares shall come to Garnavilla;
Joy’s bright rays shall gild her days,
And dove-like peace perch on her pillow.
Lovely maid of Garnavilla!
Beauty, grace, and virtue wait
On lovely Kate of Garnavilla.
