 | Tasso and the Sisters |  |
Beyond the vales fair hills appear'd
And gently up their foreheads rear'd:—
Some yellow all with flowery dress;
Others of darker loveliness;—
And some were crown'd by meeting trees,
From whose thick boughs the wild birds sung
Songs, whose melodious flow might please
The ear that heard their tuneful tongue
Much as the sound that waters give,
In falling ever, those who live
Where, on the scarcely-breathing Day,
The sun pours down his burning ray,
And parches all things with his beam,
Save the bright bosom of the stream.
And gently up their foreheads rear'd:—
Some yellow all with flowery dress;
Others of darker loveliness;—
And some were crown'd by meeting trees,
From whose thick boughs the wild birds sung
Songs, whose melodious flow might please
The ear that heard their tuneful tongue
Much as the sound that waters give,
In falling ever, those who live
Where, on the scarcely-breathing Day,
The sun pours down his burning ray,
And parches all things with his beam,
Save the bright bosom of the stream.
