¶Lyrics / Text

O, Corydon, hear the sad cries of Caroline, plaintive and slow. What sorrowful sounds do I hear move slowly along in the gale? Sweet Corydon's notes are all o'er, now silent he sleeps in the clay. Sweet woodbines will rise round his tomb and willows their sorrowing wave; young hyacinths freshen and bloom while hawthorns encircle his grave. Each morn when the sun gilds the east the green grass besprinkled with dew will cast his bright beams to the west to charm the sad Caroline's view. O, Corydon, hear the sad cries of Caroline, plaintive and slow. O spirit look down from the skies and pity thy mourner below. Since Corydon's deaf to my song, in gloom let the woodlands appear; ye oceans, be still of your roar, let Autumn extend 'round the year. I'll hie me through meadows and lawn. Since Corydon's deaf to my song in gloom let the woodlands appear; ye oceans, be still of your roar, let Autumn extend 'round the year. There cull the sweet flowers of May and waft my young spirit away.
