THE CARRIER PIGEON.
With rapid wing the Pigeon flies,
His pinions stretch'd a lengthen'd pair,
In haste he towers to the skies,
Then darting on divides the air.
The letter tells the news of Love,
Fair maiden greet the Carrier Dove.
His pinions stretch'd a lengthen'd pair,
In haste he towers to the skies,
Then darting on divides the air.
The letter tells the news of Love,
Fair maiden greet the Carrier Dove.
Fair Lady, greet the letter borne,
No longer deem thyself forlorn,
For surely Dove may one day tell
The news of Lover wishing well.
And this to night as much may prove,
I wish thee well in Life and Love.
No longer deem thyself forlorn,
For surely Dove may one day tell
The news of Lover wishing well.
And this to night as much may prove,
I wish thee well in Life and Love.
