I thought of their sillegible [burn mark] company
But Susanthenmost I thought of thee
5 When I the streets of towns perade
And gaze upon proud Britons maids
With sparkling eyes and silken hair
With rosy cheeks and bosoms fair
Methinks they have no chairms for me
For Susan yet I think on thee
6 When wafted by the power of steam
Through landscapes fair and meadows green
Through wide spread fields of waving grain
Mid wood land hills or on the plain
Though swift I fly and fair my view
Yet Susan then I think of you
7th When amid my foreign friends
A cheerful hour I try to spend
Whare kindness beams ion evry face
And danties rich our feastings grace
Mid all these scenes our hearts are true
That heart which's Susans placed on you
8th When before Jehovah's Throne
I bow and all my wants make known
I ask for blessings on my friends
And heavenly grace my stepts to attend
While thus in prayer I bow my knee
O! Suthesan then I pray for thee
I thought of their [illegible] company
But Susan most I thought of thee
5 When I the streets of towns perade
And gaze upon proud Britons maids
With sparkling eyes and silken hair
With rosy cheeks and bosoms fair
Methinks they have no chairms for me
For Susan yet I think on thee
6 When wafted by the power of steam
Through landscapes fair and meadows green
Through wide spread fields of waving grain
Mid wood land hills or on the plain
Though swift I fly and fair my view
Yet Susan then I think of you
7th When amid my foreign friends
A cheerful hour I try to spend
Whare kindness beams on evry face
And danties rich our feastings grace
Mid all these scenes our hearts are true
That heart which's Susans placed on you
8th When before Jehovah's Throne
I bow and all my wants make known
I ask for blessings on my friends
And heavenly grace my stepts to attend
While thus in prayer I bow my knee
O! Susan then I pray for thee
