Ah where does my Phillida stray
Language: English
Ah! where does my Phillida stray, Ah! where are her Grots and her Bow'rs? Are the Groves and the Valleys do gay, Are the Shepherds so gentle as ours? The Groves may perhaps be as fair, The Face of the Valleys as fine, The Swains may in Manners compare, But their Love is not equal to mine!
