 | The poetical wanderer |  |
Who led you to the caverns hung with rocks,
Where savage beasts conceal'd their infant flocks?
Who led you to the forests stock'd with game,
To the lone waters where the rein-deer came?
I lost Oenone there your footsteps led,
The knotted net with these soft hands have spread,
Follow'd your paths the mountain's giddy rounds,
And with my presence cheer'd your sweeping hounds.
Where savage beasts conceal'd their infant flocks?
Who led you to the forests stock'd with game,
To the lone waters where the rein-deer came?
I lost Oenone there your footsteps led,
The knotted net with these soft hands have spread,
Follow'd your paths the mountain's giddy rounds,
And with my presence cheer'd your sweeping hounds.
