Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Wuthering Heights song
Thank heaven for libraries! My local library was able to get the complete Madden Ballads on microfilm (12 reels). "The Willing Maid" was indeed there, along with hundreds of others. It has four verses. Some of you might enjoy this one: "When first the swain his suit addressed,/I fluttered and look'd pale,/He sighed and vow'd, he kissed and prest,/And told the fondest tale:/Then out he pulled his oaten reed,/And play'd so sweet a strain,/That all he asked, I gave indeed,/And wish'd he'd ask again." Much thanks again to you, Lynn. Cheers.
