10. A SONG.
[Within this soft, and silver bow'r]
Within this soft, and silver bow'r
Her gentle feet have stray'd;
Her voice made bright the Morning hour,
And sooth'd the Ev'ning shade:
'Twas here I felt love's fatal pow'r,
In blooming looks convey'd.
Her gentle feet have stray'd;
Her voice made bright the Morning hour,
And sooth'd the Ev'ning shade:
'Twas here I felt love's fatal pow'r,
In blooming looks convey'd.
With wonder now I gaze around,
And see no signs of woe:
The Sun, in beauteous splendour crown'd,
Makes all the landscape glow;
And joys the race of men surround,
That no soft passion know.
And see no signs of woe:
The Sun, in beauteous splendour crown'd,
Makes all the landscape glow;
And joys the race of men surround,
That no soft passion know.
132
Yes, it is even sweet to me,
But sweet with thought of her;
In ev'ry plant, and shady tree
Her image I prefer;
And here, in love, and nature free,
With Daphne still confer.
But sweet with thought of her;
In ev'ry plant, and shady tree
Her image I prefer;
And here, in love, and nature free,
With Daphne still confer.
Lend me, O dove, thy fleetest wings,
Thy fleetest wings awhile,
That I may fly, where Summer springs,
And banquet on her smile:
I would not ask the bliss of kings,
Crown'd with her love the while!
Thy fleetest wings awhile,
That I may fly, where Summer springs,
And banquet on her smile:
I would not ask the bliss of kings,
Crown'd with her love the while!
