Lyrics
Cheerily carols the lark
Over the cot
Merrily whistles the clerk
Scratching a blot
But the lark
And the clerk
I remark
Comfort me not
Over the ripening peach
Buzzes the bee
Splash on the billowy beach
Tumbles the sea
What a pinch!—what a pinch!
They are each
Nothing to me
And why? Who am I?
That man is a maid
That maid, a man
Poor, vague key
Mad? Ay, yes, very
But why? Mystery
Don't call—shh!
No crime; 'tis only
That I'm lovelonely
That's all
