OH, LET THY LOCKS UNBRAIDED FALL.

WRITTEN BY

JOHN W. WATSON. ESQ.

MUSIC COMPOSED FOR “GRAHAM’S MAGAZINE,” BY

JOHN A. JANKE, JR.,

Professor of Music.

Oh! let thy locks unbraided fall,

To-night no gems must check their flow,

And I will pledge thee for the ball.

What hearts will bend in homage low,

Yes,

lower far than though they held

The fabled wealth of Indies’ main

Or were Golconda’s mines compelled

To yield their brilliant train——

Thus did they fall when first I saw

What since has made me dream by day,

And thus when I in triumph bore

That one loved, straggling tress away.

Then do not bind with gems or gold,

Its dark, voluptuous, rolling swell,

But let those folds lie uncontrolled

I’ve learned to love so well.
