| HAVE you been at Garnavilla? | |
| Have you seen at Garnavilla | |
| Beauty’s train trip o’er the plain | |
| With lovely Kate of Garnavilla? | |
| |
| Oh! she’s pure as virgin snows | 5 |
| Ere they light on woodland hill-O; | |
| Sweet as dew-drop on wild rose | |
| Is lovely Kate of Garnavilla! | |
| |
| Philomel, I’ve listened oft | |
| To thy lay, nigh weeping willow: | 10 |
| Oh! the strain more sweet, more soft, | |
That flows from Kate of Garnavilla.
Have you been, etc. | |
| |
| As a noble ship I’ve seen | |
| Sailing o’er the swelling billow, | |
| So I’ve marked the graceful mien | 15 |
Of lovely Kate of Garnavilla.
Have you been, etc. | |
| |
| If poets’ prayers can banish cares, | |
| No cares shall come to Garnavilla; | |
| Joy’s bright rays shall gild her days, | |
| And dove-like peace perch on her pillow. | 20 |
| |
| Charming maid of Garnavilla! | |
| Lovely maid of Garnavilla! | |
| Beauty, grace, and virtue wait | |
| On lovely Kate of Garnavilla. | |
