Ali weep for the maid of the days gone
The fairest of English posies-
With the ripe red lip and the laughing eye
And cheek like cream and roses
She is caught in the flood of the flowing
That sets to the teeming city,
For her love for a country life has died,
She has vanished from sight in the city 5
And It's hey lack-a-day for the country
girl
For now in a Sitting diapers shop
And wonder, when weary and like
to drop,
Does she sigh for the life behind her
For the sweet green fields and the lowing
And the work that was half a pleasure,
Ere she fancied the town was a golden
Where the poorest might dig for treas
Where She thought she might wed with a
duke or an earl.
This foolish and frivolous country girl
