TO HIM
WHO LAMENTED SEEING A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN WEEP.
The tear that falls from Lesbia's eye,
Down her soft cheek in pity flows;
As ether drops forsake the sky,
To cheer the drooping blushing rose!
Down her soft cheek in pity flows;
As ether drops forsake the sky,
To cheer the drooping blushing rose!
For, like the sun, her eyes diffuse
O'er her fair cheek so bright a ray,
That tears must fall like heav'nly dews,
Lest the twin roses fade away!
O'er her fair cheek so bright a ray,
That tears must fall like heav'nly dews,
Lest the twin roses fade away!
