of the Rhine<br \/>\nWhere an empress he saw and the robes she was wearing<br \/>\nAround her like diamonds did shine<br \/>\nNo goddess in splendor was ever yet seen<br \/>\nTo equal this maiden so mild and serene<br \/>\nIn a soft voice she murmured, &#8216;My green linnet is gone!<br \/>\nMy sweet Boney, will I ne&#8217;er see you more?<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The cold frosty Alps you freely tread over<br \/>\nThat nature had placed in your way<br \/>\nAt Marengo Bellona around you did hover<br \/>\nAll Paris rejoiced next day<br \/>\nIt grieves me the hardships that you did undergo<br \/>\nThe mountains you traversed all covered with snow<br \/>\nAnd the balance of power you swiftly laid low<br \/>\nMy sweet Boney, will I ne&#8217;er see you more?<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The crowned heads of Europe, they were in great splendor<br \/>\nThey swore they&#8217;d have you submit<br \/>\nBut the goddess of freedom soon made them surrender<br \/>\nAnd lower their standards to your wit<br \/>\nOld King Frederic&#8217;s head to France he did bring<br \/>\nYour offspring sought shelter all under his wing<sup class=\"tagairt-n\u00f3ta-bun-leathanaigh\">1<\/sup><br \/>\nThat night in Vienna you sweetly did sing<br \/>\nMy sweet Boney, will I ne&#8217;er see you more?<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;There was many a man who was eager to slay you<br \/>\nTheir malice you bore with a smile<br \/>\nTheir gold through all Europe was found to betray you<br \/>\nThey joined the Marmelukes on the Nile<br \/>\nLike ravenous vultures their scorn did burn<br \/>\nThe orphans they slew and caused widows to mourn<br \/>\nMy green linnet is gone and he n&#8217;er will return<br \/>\nMy sweet Boney, will I ne&#8217;er see you more?<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I&#8217;ve roamed o&#8217;er the deserts of wild Abyssinia<br \/>\nAnd can yet find no cure for my pain<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll go and look in on the Isle of St. Helena<br \/>\nIn soft murmur they tell me it&#8217;s in vain<br \/>\nNow tell me you critics, come tell me in time<br \/>\nWhat nation shall I go my green linnet to find<br \/>\nWas he slain at Waterloo, in Spain, or on the Rhine?<br \/>\nNo, no, he&#8217;s dead on St Helena&#8217;s bleak shore.&#8217;<\/p>\n<div class=\"n\u00f3ta\u00ed-bun-leathanaigh\">\n<h2 id=\"t:notai\">Notes<\/h2>\n<p class=\"n\u00f3ta-bun-leathanaigh\">1.
