First Line: From glaring shew, and giddy noise
Last Line: A perfect world to me!
Subject(s): Solitude; Togetherness; Loneliness
FROM glaring shew, and giddy noise,
The pleasures of the vain,
Take me, ye soft, ye silent joys,
To your retreats again.
Be mine, ye cool, ye peaceful groves,
Whose shade to love belong;
Where echo, as she fondly roves,
Repeats my Stella's song.
Ah, Stella! why should I depart
From solitude and thee,
When in that solitude thou art
A perfect world to me!
