FOLLOW, FOLLOW OVER MOUNTAIN.
Sung by Miss Paton. The Poetry by F. W. Hohler, Esq. The Music by S. T. Smith.
And the spirit shall guide thee over seas, and mountains covered with roses, to Love's fountain; whose waters thou shalt taste, and thou shalt forget thy unhappy love.
Follow, follow over mountain,
Follow, follow over sea,
And I'll guide thee to Love's fountain,
If you'll follow, follow me.
Follow, follow, &c.
With the waters of the fountain
Will I ease thy aching heart,
And the roses of the mountain
Shall to thee a balm impart.
Follow, follow, &c.
For woman's love is dearly bought,
If bought with peace of mind;
But taste the fount, and not a thought
Of love is left behind.
Follow, follow, &c.
I'll fan thee with the Zephyr's wing,
And watch thee night and day,
I'll guide thee to Love's healing spring—
So follow and away.
Follow, follow, follow, follow, and away,
Follow, follow, and away.
ISLE OF BEAUTY, FARE-THEE-WELL!
From the first volume of "Songs to Rosa," by Thomas H. Bayly, Esq. The Melody composed by Charles S. Whitmore, Esq. The Symphonies and Accompaniments by J.A. Rawlings.
Shades of evening! close not o'er us!
Leave our lonely bark awhile!
Morn, alas! will not restore us
Yonder dim and distant isle.
