INSCRIPTION IN AN ARBOUR.
Come, gentle Air! my bower in bloom
Returns the Jess'mine's breath for thine,
Returns the Rose's fresh perfume
And incense from the Eglantine!
Returns the Jess'mine's breath for thine,
Returns the Rose's fresh perfume
And incense from the Eglantine!
Come, gentle Air, and bring along
(While Sirius darts his fiercest fire)
With thee the Muse, with thee the Song,
With thee the sweetness of the Lyre.
(While Sirius darts his fiercest fire)
With thee the Muse, with thee the Song,
With thee the sweetness of the Lyre.
When thou art gone, O gentle Air!
And storms succeed thy genial power,
The Lyre can charm, tho' Winter tear
My tendrils and destroy my bower.
And storms succeed thy genial power,
The Lyre can charm, tho' Winter tear
My tendrils and destroy my bower.
