Lady Caroline Keppel (c. 1734–1769)

Robin Adair

WELCOME on shore again,

Robin Adair!

Welcome once more again,

Robin Adair!

I feel thy trembling hand;

Tears in thy eyelids stand,

To greet thy native land,

Robin Adair!

Long I ne’er saw thee, love,

Robin Adair!

Still I prayed for thee, love,

Robin Adair!

When thou wert far at sea

Many made love to me,

But still I thought on thee,

Robin Adair!

Come to my heart again,

Robin Adair!

Never to part again,

Robin Adair!

And if you still are true,

I will be constant too,

And will wed none but you,

Robin Adair!
