Subject(s): Earth; Flowers; Heaven; World; Paradise
THE earth is so fair, and the heavens so bright,
The breezes are breathing with soothing might,
The blooming fields with flowers are dight,
In the morning dew all radiant with light,
All men are rejoicing that meet my sight --
My bed in the grave I fain would be pressing,
The corpse of my mistress dear caressing.
