Star Of Belle Isle |
One evening for pleasure I rambled |
To view the fair fields all alone |
Down by the banks of Loch Erin |
Where beauty and pleasure were known |
I spied a fair maid at her labor |
Which caused me to stay for a while |
I thought her the Goddess of Beauty |
The blooming bright star of Belle Isle |
I humbled myself to her beauty |
«Fair maiden, where do you belong? |
Are you from the heavens descended |
Abiding in Cupid’s fair throng?» |
«Young man, I will tell you a secret |
It’s true I’m a maid who is poor |
And to part from my vows and my promise |
Is more than my heart can endure |
Therefore I’ll remain at my service |
And go through all hardship and toil |
And wait for the lad that has left me |
Alone on the banks of Belle Isle" |
«Young maiden I wish not to banter |
Tis true I came here in disguise |
I came to fulfill my last promise |
And hoped to give you a surprise |
I own you’re the maid I love dearly |
You’ve been in my heart all the while |
For me there is no other damsel |
Than the blooming bright star of Belle Isle |
