XXXII. Song.
Gentle be thy word!
In so sweet a sky
Only sweet things, heard
Or unheard, should fly—
Voice, and lute, and bird,
Bee and butterfly.
In so sweet a sky
Only sweet things, heard
Or unheard, should fly—
Voice, and lute, and bird,
Bee and butterfly.
Tender be thy mien!
At so sweet an hour
Only sweet things, seen
Or unseen, have power—
Soft scent, and sigh, and scene,
Love, and light, and flower.
At so sweet an hour
Only sweet things, seen
Or unseen, have power—
Soft scent, and sigh, and scene,
Love, and light, and flower.
