Mary-Ann was alone with her baby in arms
My banks they are furnished with bees

My heart leaps up when I behold

Napoleon's banners at Boulogne.

No stir in the air, no stir in the sea.

O sing unto my roundelay

O then, I see, Queen Mab hath been with you

O where have ye been, Lord Randal, my son?
O where have you been, my long, long, love.
O, young Lochinvar is come out of the west

Oh, to be in England.

Old stories tell how Hercules

Seven daughter had Lord Archibalds
Shepherds all, and maidens fair

The boy stood on the burning deck

The Wildgrave winds his bugle horn

The summer and autumn had been so wet

The warm sun is failing, the bleak wind is wailing

There came a ghost to Margaret's door.
