the flower and brook.
"Go—changeful rover!—wander free,
With sunny glance, and voice beguiling,
And take my fondest sigh with thee,
To boast where other flowers are smiling
With sunny glance, and voice beguiling,
And take my fondest sigh with thee,
To boast where other flowers are smiling
"Go! tell the lily and the rose,
Of all the incense lavish'd o'er thee!
Go—wake them from their pure repose,
And bid them waste their blushes for thee!
Of all the incense lavish'd o'er thee!
Go—wake them from their pure repose,
And bid them waste their blushes for thee!
"Go! breathe to them the music low,
Which all too oft beguiles the blossom
But oh! remember, where you go,
My latest breath was on your bosom!"
Which all too oft beguiles the blossom
But oh! remember, where you go,
My latest breath was on your bosom!"
