ELLEN OF THE DEE.
Where Dee's soft waters gently glide,
thro' myrtles, flow'ry dale,
Meek Ellen shone in youthful pride,
tee beauty of the vale!
Her form was gentle, and her mind
from overy fully free;
To render pity still inclin'd,
sweet Ellen of the Dee.

Her form was gentle, and her mind
from overy fully free;
To render pity still inclin'd,
sweet Ellen of the Dee.
While blooming Henry mark'd her charm,
who long had known her fame,
He gaz'd, and lov'd, and in his arms
she own'd an equal flame.
Tho' he had sprung of noble race,
and she of low degree,
Yet none to beauty added grace
like Ellen of the Dee.

But when the secret of his heart
his haughty parents knew,
They strove with unremitting art
his purpose to undo;
Who (joyless in the splendid dome,
with dames of high degree,)
Found pleasure in his humbler fame,
with Ellen of the Dee.
