CAROLINE

Part First.

I'll bid the hyacynth to blow,

Ill teach my grotto green

to be

And sing my true love all below

The helly bower & myrtle tree.

There, all his wood wild notes to bring,

The sweet south wind shall wander by,

And with the music of his wing

Delight my rustling canopy. —

Come to my close & clust ring bower_ Thou spirit of a milder chime Fresh with the dews of fruit & flow'+

of

mountain heath & moory thyme

With all thy rural echoes come _

Sweet comrade of the resy Day

Wafting the wild bees gentle hum

Or cuckoo's plaintive roundelay

Where'er thy morning feet have stray'd _

Whatever isles of Ocean fannd

[ocr errors]

Come to

[blocks in formation]

Thou wandring wind of Faisyland

For sure

from

some enchanted isle

Where Heavn & Love their sabbath hold_

Where pure & happy spirits smile

of beauty's freshest fairest mould.

From

Some e green

island of the deep

Where pleasure's sigh alone is heav'd

I there tears of sapture lovers weep _
Endcard undoubling undeceiv'd_

[ocr errors]

From some sweet paradise afar Thy beauty wanders distant lost __

Where nature lights her leading tar

And love is never never

[ocr errors]

O gentle gale of Etten- bowers !
If back thy printless steps should room

To revel with the cloudless hours

In Nature's more • propitious home

Name to thy loud Elysian groves

That our enchanted spirits twine __

e

A

& fairer form than cherub loves

And let the name by Caroline

CAROLINE

Part. second.

Gem of the crimson-colourd Even! _

Companion of reliving day!

Why at the closing gates of Heav'n

Beloved star dost thou delay ?
