MY LADY by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "WHERE LAPS THE BREEZE, THE EVER-RUSTLING TREE"
Last Line: "OR FRIGID WINTER, AWFUL, DARK, AND DENSE, / WHEN MOCKING EYES STILL KEEP ME IN SUSPENSE? / MY LADY"

WHERE laps the breeze, the ever-rustling tree,
Where the cool stream flows gay and free,
If there my lady is, there would I be,
My lady.

Where winter roars and storms vindictive fly,
And hurl deep thunders from a deeper sky,
If there my lady be, there would be I,
My lady.

For what to me is tropic heat intense,
Or frigid winter, awful, dark, and dense,
When mocking eyes still keep me in suspense?
My lady.
