THE PICTURE OF MY QUEEN.
Ah! wou'dst thou see the azure sky,
And feast upon the blooming rose,
Etherial blue is Mary's eye,
The damask tinge her cheeks disclose.
And feast upon the blooming rose,
Etherial blue is Mary's eye,
The damask tinge her cheeks disclose.
Wou'dst thou behold the lily dress'd
And view each graceful wave display'd,
Gaze on her gently heaving breast,
And see her locks in gold array'd.
And view each graceful wave display'd,
Gaze on her gently heaving breast,
And see her locks in gold array'd.
Or wou'dst thou hear the bird of night,
Whose notes melodious fill the grove,
'Tis Mary's song that yields delight,
So peerless is the queen of love.
Whose notes melodious fill the grove,
'Tis Mary's song that yields delight,
So peerless is the queen of love.
