 | The poetical wanderer |  |
Often beneath the still sequester'd shade
Amidst the flocks which wanton'd o'er the glade,
Cheerful we've sat secluded from the heat,
While zephyrs whisper'd thro' our cool retreat—
Oft in our little cot secure from hail,
Descending rains and midnight's hollow gale;
In bed of straw upon each other's breast,
Happy we've lain, and sweetly sunk to rest.
Amidst the flocks which wanton'd o'er the glade,
Cheerful we've sat secluded from the heat,
While zephyrs whisper'd thro' our cool retreat—
Oft in our little cot secure from hail,
Descending rains and midnight's hollow gale;
In bed of straw upon each other's breast,
Happy we've lain, and sweetly sunk to rest.
