The Girl I left Behind by Charles Green. Published in 1989 by Pompadour Gallery long since out of business, we have managed to acquire a small number of these superb prints which are hard to find.

I seek no more the fine or gay, For each does but remind me How Swiftly pass'd the hours away With the girl I left behind me. Oh. ne'er shall I forget the night, The stars were bright above me, And gently lent their silv'ry light, When first she vow'd to love me. but now I'm, bound for Brighton camp, kind heaven, then pray, guide me, And send me safely back again To the girl I left behind me. |
