Where is she gone, where is she gone?
Which holds that all waltzing is quite incorrect: And I--am left all alone! But a fire's in my heart and a fire's in my brain, When she waltzes away with Sir Phelim O'Shane; I don't think I ever _can_ ask her again: Where is she gone, where is she gone? And, lord! since the summer she's grown very plain, And I--am left all alone! She said that she liked me a twelvemonth ago! Where is she gone, where is she gone? And how should I guess that she'd torture me so! And I--am left all alone! Some day she'll find out it was not very wise To laugh at the breath of a true lover's sighs: After all, Fanny Myrtle is not such a prize; Where is she gone, where is she gone? Louisa Dalrymple has exquisite eyes: And I'll be--no longer alone! Mr. Praed has an exquisite poem, "Memory;" and we had nearly passed by a song by Mr. T. Moore.
