A damsel, fair with braided hair, Her beauty wild beyond compare, Came bustling to the summer faire, Her petticoats a-flowing; She settled there, upon a chair And watched the young men stop and stare, But none of them would dare to dare To coax her with a-wooing; In her despair, she gasped for air, No one it seemed would know or care, Her beauty hid a deep despair That she was not a-showing And unaware how to declare The secrets that she dare not share, The damsel left to who knows where, And no one is a-knowing How came a damsel quite so rare, With beauty fair and braided hair, Alone with no one's love to share, Her petticoats a-flowing

A Damsel, Fair
A damsel, fair with braided hair, Her beauty wild beyond compare, Came bustling to the summer faire, Her petticoats a-flowing; She settled there, upon a chair And watched the young men stop and stare, But none of them would dare to dare To coax her with a-wooing; In her despair, she gasped for air, No one it seemed would know or care, Her beauty hid a deep despair That she was not a-showing And unaware how to declare The secrets that she dare not share, The damsel left to who knows where, And no one is a-knowing How came a damsel quite so rare, With beauty fair and braided hair, Alone with no one's love to share, Her petticoats a-flowing
