Popular British Ballads, Ancient and Modern, Vol. 3 (of 4)
CONTENTS
Turn, gentle hermit of the dale,
And guide my lonely way
To where yon taper cheers the vale
With hospitable ray.
For here forlorn and lost I tread,
With fainting steps and slow,
Where wilds, immeasurably spread,
Seem length'ning as I go.
Forbear, my son, the hermit cries,
