AH! County Guy, the hour is nigh,
The sun has left the lea,
The orange-flower perfumes the bower,
The breeze is on the sea.
The lark, his lay who trilled all day,
Sits hushed his partner nigh;
Breeze, bird and flower, confess the hour,
But where is County Guy?


The village maid steals through the shade,
Her shephard’s suit to hear;
To beauty shy, by lattice high,
Sings high-born Cavalier.
The stars of Love, all stars above,
Now reigns o’er earth and sky;
And high and low the influence know –
But where is County Guy?
