 | Lyrics of the heart |  |
A PARAPHRASE.
Yes, methinks that I could without weeping resign
Both thy beautiful eyes, though so fondly they languish;
And thy lips, though they often have murmured to mine
Affection's soft tones, I could lose, without anguish!
Both thy beautiful eyes, though so fondly they languish;
And thy lips, though they often have murmured to mine
Affection's soft tones, I could lose, without anguish!
To be brief; thou hast held so ungentle a sway
O'er the heart that was given by Love to thy keeping,
That at length from thy chains it is stealing away,
And methinks I may learn to lose all without weeping!
O'er the heart that was given by Love to thy keeping,
That at length from thy chains it is stealing away,
And methinks I may learn to lose all without weeping!
