Classic Poem

SADI.

Oh! happy tawny Moor! when you, love,
Climb the mountain with your true love,
Will you by the way,
The music play?
Your sweet guitar a-tinkling, Sadi
Listens to his Spanish lady.
Tang, tanki, tanki, tang, tang,
Tanki, tanki, tay.

AGNES .

Oh! bonny tawny Moor! together
As we brave the wind and weather,
Wont you by the way
From Agnes stray?
While their guitars are tinkling, Sadi,
Love no other Spanish lady.
Tang, tanki, tanki, tang, tang,
Tanki, tanki, tay.

SADI .

Cease, pretty Agnes, cease; no beauty
E'er could draw me from my duty;
Let them all the day
Their music play.

AGNES .

Then my guitar a-tinkling, Sadi,
Follow now your Spanish lady.
Tang, tanki, tanki, tang, tang,
Tanki, tanki, tay.
