Savourna deligh
Language: English
Oh! the moment was sad, when my Love and I parted,
Savourna deligh shighan Oh!
As I kiss'd off her tears I was nigh broken-hearted,
Savourna deligh shighan Oh!
Wan was her cheek, which hung on my shoulder,
Damp was her hand, no marble was colder,
I felt that I never again should behold her,
Savourna deligh shighan Oh!
Long I fought for my country, far, far, from my true love,
Savourna deligh shighan Oh!
All my pay and my booty I hoarded for you love,
Savourna deligh shighan Oh!
Peace was proclaimed -- escap'd from the slaughter,
Landed at home, the sweet girl I sought her,
But sorrow, alas! to her cold grave had brought her,
Savourna deligh shighan Oh!
