Savourna deligh

Oh! the moment was sad, when my Love and I parted,

Savourna deligh shighan Oh!

As I kiss'd off her tears I was nigh broken-hearted,

Savourna deligh shighan Oh!

Wan was her cheek, which hung on my shoulder,

Damp was her hand, no marble was colder,

I felt that I never again should behold her,

Savourna deligh shighan Oh!

Long I fought for my country, far, far, from my true love,

Savourna deligh shighan Oh!

All my pay and my booty I hoarded for you love,

Savourna deligh shighan Oh!

Peace was proclaimed -- escap'd from the slaughter,

Landed at home, the sweet girl I sought her,

But sorrow, alas! to her cold grave had brought her,

Savourna deligh shighan Oh!
