The door clapper (Y stwffwl)
Haydn, Joseph
O say not that Arthur will see me no more,
His kindness I merit, his anger deplore;
Tho' doubt made me silent, yet why should he fly,
Since the dawn of affection is timid and shy?
O will he return, his lov'd haunts to retrace?
Will no rash resentment appear in his face?
No more like a blast will he rush thro' the door,
And wring my sad heart with reproaches no more!
