He. Where thou dwellest in what Grove Tell me Fair one tell me love Where thou thy charming Nest dost build O thou pride of every field She. Yonder stands a lonely tree There I live & mourn for thee Morning drinks my silent tear And evening winds my sorrows bear He. O thou Summers harmony I have livd & mournd for thee Each day I mourn along the wood And night hath heard my sorrows loud She. Dost thou truly long for me And am I thus sweet to thee Sorrow now is at an End O my Lover & my Friend He. Come on wings of joy well fly To where my Bower hangs on high Come & make thy calm retreat Among green leaves & blossoms sweet | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BEDTIME READING FOR THE UNBORN CHILD by KHALED MATTAWA EAST OF CARTHAGE: AN IDYLL by KHALED MATTAWA SEVEN TWILIGHTS: 7 by CONRAD AIKEN VICARIOUS ATONEMENT by RICHARD ALDINGTON NOTHING ABOUT THE MOMENT by LUCILLE CLIFTON VENUS IN A GARDEN by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON AN OFFERING FOR TARA by GARY SNYDER A CRADLE SONG by WILLIAM BLAKE |
