Classic Poem

Happy Ellen near thy dwelling
True love wanders night and day
Nothing fearing ever hearing
What my charmer has to say.

Can I please thee do I tease thee
Happy Ellen prythee say
Near thy dwelling Haughty Ellen
Fancy wanders every day.

At the windows like a cinder
Burning with too hot desire
I am speaking true love seeking
To quench the flame and damp the fire.

Lovely Ellen near thy dwelling
I love sick wander night and day
On thy bosom grief dispeling
Every sorrow fades away.
