THE WAKEFUL NIGHTINGALE by ANONYMOUS

Last Line: "FOR LOVE THAT MAKES HIM WAKEFUL, MAKES HIM SING"
Subject(s): BIRDS;CUPID;LOVE - COMPLAINTS;NIGHTINGALES; EROS;

THE wakeful nightingale, that takes no rest,
While Cupid warms his little breast;
All night how sweetly he complains,
And makes us fear that love has pains:
No, no, no, no, 'tis no such thing,
For love that makes him wakeful, makes him sing.
