English poem
Song. Henry
by Anonymous
My heart from my bosom wou'd fly, And wander, oh! wander afar, Reflection bedews my sad eye, For Henry is gone to the war.

Ye winds that have borne-Run away, Restore my dear youth to my arms; Restore me to sunshine and day— 'Tis night till my Henry returns, Oh, ye winds, &c
