t,Then time, who steals -:&gt;ur years away,
Shall steal our pleaures t-:&gt;o;
The memory of the past will stay,
And half -:&gt;ur joys renew.
Then, Chl~e, when thy beauty's lower,
Shall fill the wintry air;
Re:nernbrance will recall the h:)ur,
When &lt;:.hou alone \ert faj r.
Then talk no more of future gloom,
Our joys will always last;
F-:&gt;r h0pe shall brighten days to come,
An(l memory gild the past.
Chloe, fill the genial b0wl,
I drink t0 love and thee;
Thou never canst decay in s0ul,
Th0u wilt otill be young t-:&gt; me.
Ann as thy lips the tear (]r-:&gt;p chase,
Which on my cr eck they find;
So h:)pe shall steal away the trace,
Which sorraw leaves behind..
Then f:Ul the bowl away with gloom,
0Ul' j-:&gt;ys shall alwayp ta.st j
For h0pe shall brighten days to CYme,
.Pnd ·nernory gil0 the past.
Bnt mark, fit tl1')ught of futu""e years,
When l~ve shall lose its SJul;
My Crloe dr0ps her timid tears,
They mingle with my bovrl.
How like this bowl of vine my :fair,
Our l"ving l~fe sf1all fleet,
ThJugh tears may A-:&gt;~etimes mingle there,
The dra-:..lgr' t will still be sweet.

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The I. G. Greer Folksong Collection, presented here as part of the Documenting Appalachia digital initiative, consists of approximately 1,100 document pages that comprise more than 300 individual song titles, some with as many as ten distinct variants. The documents in this collection include manuscripts (some written as early as the mid-19th century), typescript transcriptions produced by Dr. Greer’s secretarial staff, and handwritten musical notations. Songs represented herein range from traditional Child Ballads, traditional English and Scottish ballads as well as their American variants, to 19th century popular music to musical compositions of local origin.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Biographical Note. Isaac Garfield Greer (4 December 1881 - 24 November 1967) was a history and government professor for Appalachian State Teacher's College from 1910 to 1932. A native of Watauga County, North Carolina, he was born to Philip and Mary Greer of Zionville and initially worked as a public school teacher and principal until he was hired at Appalachian State Teacher's College. From 1932 to 1948, he worked as superintendent of Mills Baptist Children's Home in Thomasville, North Carolina. From 1948 to 1954, Greer was the Executive Vice-President of the Business Foundation of North Carolina. Greer and his first wife Willie Spainhour had two sons I.G. Greer, Jr. and Joseph P. Greer. Greer's second wife was Hattie O'Briant. Dr. Greer was an avid collector and singer of folk songs. He was a nationally recognized authority of mountain folk music during his lifetime. A bass player, Greer and his wife, who played the dulcimer, performed at various regional school and civic functions. They were recorded singing several folk songs by Library of Congress from 1941 to 1946. Appalachian State Teacher's College dedicated the I.G. Greer Music Hall in 1966. Greer also had an active civic life. He was the president of the Southern Appalachian Historical Association and also served as a Boone City Alderman and in the North Carolina House of Representatives.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
