THE MAID ON THE SHORE- Etson Van Wagner; Red Hill, New York; pre1948 Cazden A

There was a fair maiden I did well adore,
Her beauties they did shine clear O.
She could find nothing there, for to ease her sad mind,
Till she roamed all alone on the shore, O shore,
Till she roamed all alone on the shore.
