Fairest Maid on Devon Banks.

Fairest maid on Devon Banks,
Crystal Devon, winding Devon,
Wilt thou lay that frown aside,
And smile as thou were wont to do?

Full thou know'st I love thee dear:
Could'st thou to malice lend an ear?
O did not love exclaim, "⟨Forbear⟩!
“Nor use a faithful lover so?"

Fairest maid on Devon Banks,
Crystal Devon, winding Devon,
Wilt thou lay that frown aside,

And smile as thou were wont to do?

Then come, thou fairest of the fair?
Those wantn smiles, O let me share!
And, by thy bounteous self I sware,
No love but thine my heart shall know.
