Shepherds, I have lost my love; Have you seen my Anna? Pride of every shady grove Upon the banks of Banna. I for her my home forsook Near yon misty mountain, Left my flock, my pipe, my crook, Greenwood shade and fountain. Never shall I see them more Until her returning; All the joys of life are o'er, From gladness changed to mourning. Whither is my charmer flown? Shepherds, tell me whither; Ah! woe for me, perhaps she's gone For ever and for ever.
