TO ZEPHYR.
November 17, 1800.
Mild Zephyr, o'er the verdant grove,
That sport'st in April's dewy ray,
O hear the tender sighs of love,
And wave thy wings and come away!
That sport'st in April's dewy ray,
O hear the tender sighs of love,
And wave thy wings and come away!
If e'er his plaints have reach'd thine ear,
If e'er his tears have met thine eye,
Go, tell Eliza, gentle Air,
I weep, I languish, and I die!
If e'er his tears have met thine eye,
Go, tell Eliza, gentle Air,
I weep, I languish, and I die!
Eliza once my fondness knew,
Eliza once that fondness blest;
Eliza frowns; I fear to woo,
And hide the pang that rends my breast.
Eliza once that fondness blest;
Eliza frowns; I fear to woo,
And hide the pang that rends my breast.
O go; and yon refulgent ball,
And bounteous Heav'n thy care shall pay,
And melt the snow-drops as they fall,
Where'er thou tak'st thy evening play.
And bounteous Heav'n thy care shall pay,
And melt the snow-drops as they fall,
Where'er thou tak'st thy evening play.
61
And where thou wav'st thy airy wing,
No chilling rains shall patter there;
No driving hail deform thy Spring;
Go, sigh my sorrows, gentle Air.
No chilling rains shall patter there;
No driving hail deform thy Spring;
Go, sigh my sorrows, gentle Air.
