[Pleasure! why thus desert the heart]
Pleasure! why thus desert the heart
In its spring-tide?
I could have seen her, I could part,
And but have sigh'd!
In its spring-tide?
I could have seen her, I could part,
And but have sigh'd!
O'er every youthful charm to stray,
To gaze, to touch . .
Pleasure! why take so much away,
Or give so much!
To gaze, to touch . .
Pleasure! why take so much away,
Or give so much!
