    “Once i loved with fond affections,”

    Share Share Post
    Once I loved with fond affections,
    All his thought were on me,
    Until a false girl did deceive me,
    Then he thought no more of me,
    Go and leave me if you wish it,
    Never let me cross your mind again
    Many's the night when on your pillow
    Thinking of that sweet response
    And i a poor broken hearted girl
