THE LOSS OF RICHMOND HILL.
Air—"The Lass of Richmond Hill."
From Richmond Hill there is a view
As fair as Tempe's morn;
Its charms are such that sure by few
Their loss were calmly borne.
This view so sweet, no "Jerry" street
Must intercept or kill;
We all decline thus to resign,
The view from Richmond Hill!
How happy would that builder be
Who'd call that plot his own!
His heart is fixed on lease and fee,
Ours on the view alone.
This view so sweet must rest complete,
For not with our good will
For villas fine will we resign
That view from Richmond Hill!
