Say, Hal the Woodman was your host.
THE WOODLAND MAID.
The woodland maid, my beauty's queen,
In nature's simple charm array'd,
This heart subdues; that matchless mien,
Still binds me to the woodland maid.
In nature's simple charm array'd,
This heart subdues; that matchless mien,
Still binds me to the woodland maid.

For wide domain, for gay parade;
I would unmov'd such toys behold,
Possess'd of thee, sweet woodland maid.
