[verse] How should he love thee? or how deem thee wise, Who wouldst not leave him in his wandering To seek for treasure in the jewelled skies, All be it he soared with an undaunted wing? [chorus] Hast thou not dragged Diana from her car, And driven the Ham uh dry ad from the wood To seek a shelter in some happier star? Hast thou not torn the Naiad from her flood [outro] The Elfin from the green grass, and from me The summer dream beneath the tamarind tree? [chorus] Hast thou not dragged Diana from her car, And driven the Ham uh dry ad from the wood To seek a shelter in some happier star? Hast thou not torn the Nye ad from her flood [outro] The Elfin from the green grass, and from me The summer dream beneath the tamarind tree?
