Air. "Roy's Wife."I.Jeannie Marsh of Cherry Valley,At whose call the muses rally;Of all the nine none so divineAs Jeannie Marsh of Cherry Valley.She 'minds me of her native scenes,Where she was born among the cherries;Of peaches, plums, and nectarines,Pears, apricots, and ripe strawberries!Jeannie Marsh of Cherry Valley. II.Jeannie Marsh of Cherry Valley,In whose name the muses rally;Of all the nine none so divine As Jeannie Marsh of Cherry Valley.A sylvan nymph with queenly grace,An angel she in every feature;The sweet expression of the place,A dimple in the smile of nature!Jeannie Marsh of Cherry Valley.
