Age and life of man, or, A short description of the nature, rise, and fall, according to the twelve months of the year/Henry's cottage-maid

henry's cottage maid.

AH where ⟨can⟩ fly my soul's true love?
Sad I wander this lone grove;
Sighs and tears for him I shed,
Henry is from Laura fled
Thy love to me thou didst impart,
Thy love soon won my virgin heart;
But dearest ⟨Henry⟩ thou'st betray'd
Thy love with thy poor cottage-maid.

⁠Thro' the vale my grief appears,
Sighing ⟨sae⟩ with pearly tears:
Oft thy image is my theme,
As I wander on thy green:
See from my cheek the colour flies,
And love's sweet hope within me flies;
For oh! dear ⟨Henry,⟩ thou'st betray'd
Thy love with ⟨thy poor⟩ village-maid
