A SONG. (By a Lady.) ALEXIS.
The sun's declining, milder ray,
O'erspreads the eastern skys:
Thro' fragrant trees soft zephyrs play,
And ev'ning shades arise.
O'erspreads the eastern skys:
Thro' fragrant trees soft zephyrs play,
And ev'ning shades arise.
The flow'rs reviving raise their heads,
Refresh'd with silver dews:
The ev'ning primrose gaily spreads,
And beauteous scenes renews.
Refresh'd with silver dews:
The ev'ning primrose gaily spreads,
And beauteous scenes renews.
Come
Chloe, then these charms partake,
In yonder rosy bow'r:
Come, thy Alexis happy make,
This is th' appointed hour.
In yonder rosy bow'r:
Come, thy Alexis happy make,
This is th' appointed hour.
There talk of love, whilst free from care,
We both are kind and true:
Come let us to the shade repair,
And seal, our vows anew.
We both are kind and true:
Come let us to the shade repair,
And seal, our vows anew.
