Annie Lee

ANNIE LEE is fair and sweet,
   Fair and sweet to look upon;
But Annie’s heart is all deceit,
   Therefore Annie Lee, begone!
 
Sweeter than a golden bell
   Sound her winning words, each one;
From a fount of fraud they well;
   Therefore Annie Lee, begone!
 
In those deep blue orbs, her eyes,
   Pity’s built herself a throne;
Pity? Guile in Pity’s guise:
   Therefore Annie Lee, begone!
 
Charming Annie Lee, begone!
   Cunning Annie Lee, begone!
I’d not have thee for a world,
   Tho’ so fair to look upon.
