005 Ah Chloris

Tune: Major Graham

1．

Ah, Chloris, since it may not be

That thou of love wilt hear,

If from the lover thou maun flee,

Yet let the friend be dear!

2．

Altho' I love my Chloris mair

Than ever tongue could tell,

My passion I will ne'er declare—

I'll say I wish thee well.

3．

Tho' a' my daily care thou art,

And a' my nightly dream,

I'll hide the struggle in my heart,

And say it is esteem.
