SONG
[Drink ye to her that each loves best]
Drink ye to her that each loves best,
And, if you nurse a flame
That's told but to her mutual breast,
We will not ask her name.
And, if you nurse a flame
That's told but to her mutual breast,
We will not ask her name.
Enough, while memory tranced and glad
Paints silently the fair,
That each should dream of joys he's had,
Or yet may hope to share.
Paints silently the fair,
That each should dream of joys he's had,
Or yet may hope to share.
Yet far, far hence be jest or boast
From hallowed thoughts so dear;
But drink to her that each loves most
As she would love to hear.
From hallowed thoughts so dear;
But drink to her that each loves most
As she would love to hear.
