Explore "The Girl's Lamentation" by William Allingham on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
With grief and mourning I sit to spin; / My Love passed by, and he didn't come in; / He passes by me, both day and night, / And carries off my poor heart's delight.
There is a tavern in yonder town, / My Love goes there and he spends a crown; / He takes a strange girl upon his knee, / And never more gives a thought to me.
