Cot where I was born

Herbert, George
Song Lyrics
Verse 1

I roamed beneath a sunny sky,
Where lighter flowers grew,
Where all unbar[…] to the eye,
And dazzling to the view,
I've seem them graced by night's pale tear,
Bedecked with red at morn,
But never found a spot so dear,
As that where I was born.

Chorus

Verse 2

Can wealth of title compensate,
The want of friendship glow?
Can gaudy […] earthly state,
So bright a gem bestow?
To me such joys are cold indeed,
They hold the heart forlorn,
Give me the cot I love so well,
The cot where I was born.

Chorus
