HI, I have tapped every possible resource I can cook up and have had no luck in finding much about this song.

"Away With Melancholy"

Away with Melancholy, nor doleful changes ring
On life and human folly, but merrily merrily sing
fal, la
Come on, ye rosy hours, Gay smiling moments bring
We'll strew the way with flowers, and merrily .....chor

I have 6 verse on my copied sheet music. No dates.

Charles Meineke published sheet music of this song in 1827.

I suspect the lyrics have been lifted or influenced by Byron-but I 've not been able to find the exact match in any of Byron's material.

I appreciate any help!!! I've been searching for weeks!
