Poem by Anne Hunter

A Mermaid’s Song

NOW the dancing sunbeams play
On the green and glassy sea;
Come, and I will lead the way,
Where the pearly treasures be.
Come with me, and we will go
Where the rocks of coral grow;
Follow, follow, follow me.
Come, behold what treasures lie
Deep below the rolling waves,
Riches hid from human eye
Dimly shine in ocean's caves;
Stormy winds are far away,
Ebbing tides brook no delay;
Follow, follow, follow me.

1. Song 6. IN airy dreams fond fancy flies
2. Addressed to Mrs. G.
3. Song 5. FAR, far from me my love is fled
4. To the Memory of Thomas Chatterton
5. Song 10. O Tuneful voice, I still deplore
