song.—on chloris being ill（1/1）

song.—on chloris being ill

tune—“aye wauken o.”

chorus—long, long the night,

heavyes the morrow

while my soul's delight

is on her bed of sorrow.

can i cease to care?

can i cease to languish,

while my darling fair

is on the couch of anguish?

long, long, &c.

ev'ry hope is fled,

ev'ry fear is terror,

slumber ev'n i dread,

ev'ry dream is horror.

long, long, &c.

hear me, powers divine!

oh, in pity, hear me!

take aught else of mine,

but my chloris spare me!

long, long, &c.
