ODE on the SPRING.
For the Month of May.
I
Wanton Zephyr, come away!On this sweet, this silent Grove,
Sacred to the Muse and Love,
In gentle whisper'd Murmurs play!
Come let thy soft, thy balmy Breeze
Diffuse the Vernal Sweets around
From sprouting Flow'rs, and blossom'd Trees;
While Hills and echoing Vales resound
100
In Honour to the Bloom of Spring.
II
Lovely Season of Desire!Nature smiles with Joy to see
The Amorous Months led on by thee,
That kindly wake her genial Fire.
The brightest Object in the Skies,
The fairest Lights that shine below,
The Sun, and Mira's Charming Eyes,
At thy Return more Charming grow:
With double Glory they appear,
To warm and grace the Infant Year.
